Finishing Up Unit 3: Properties of Parallel Lines
This week students will be finishing up our study on the properties of parallel lines. We will spend Monday's class reviewing how to write the equation of a line and two column proofs. We will be working with the Google Slides app during class, so please make sure that this is downloaded from the app store or from "Self Service".
On Tuesday, we will take a look at spherical geometry. We have been talking about Euclidean geometry so far in class (and will continue this throughout the rest of the year), but on Tuesday we will take a moment to talk about spherical geometry. Students: prepare to have your MINDS BLOWN!
We know that in Euclidean Geometry, parallel lines are lines in the same plane that will never intersect. When we take a look at spherical geometry, ALL LINES INTERSECT!
For our study of spherical geometry, we will be drawing on balloons. This makes it much easier to visualized 3D concepts.
We will finish up our week with a review and our unit 3 summative assessment. This assessment will cover two major targets: properties of parallel lines and writing linear equations.
This week is the last week students can take advantage of a unit 2 summative retake (by Thursday). In order to be eligible for a test retake, students must have completed all formative work (check Infinite Campus), must make corrections on the original assessment, and complete the extra practice. Students must notify Mrs. Kamenar about when they would like to come in to make corrections (before school, during lunch or after school on Tuesday or Thursday in Homework Club), e-mail Mrs. Kamenar about which section(s) of the test they would like to retake, and make an appointment for the retake. Please DO NOT try to accomplish all of these tasks in one day!
