What's Going On? September 25th through September 29th

Unit 2: Reasoning and Proof

This week, we will continue our study of reasoning and proof.  We will start off the week by talking about indirect proof.  We will start off by applying our new knowledge of indirect proof to everyday situations.  Once we get the hang of this, we will then try to apply indirect proof to geometry.  By the end of Monday's class, students should be able to write an indirect proof showing that a triangle can have at most one right angle.

During Tuesday's class, we will check in with a short formative assessment to make sure that we are on the right track.  We will spend the rest of the week talking about Algebraic proof and then we will work our way up to Geometric proof. 




Unit 1 Retakes

Students received their tests back from our unit 1 summative last week.  If a student is unhappy with their summative score on one or both learning targets, a retake assessment is possible if the following steps are taken:

1. All formative work from unit 1 must be completed (homework and quizzes)
2. Corrections must be made on the original assessment. Contact me to make an appointment!
3. E-Mail me to request personalized extra practice for the section(s) you would like to retake.
4. Complete the retake by Monday, October 2nd.

Please keep in mind that the retake score will be entered into Infinite Campus, even if the retake score is lower! 


Need Extra Help?

I will be available on Wednesday and Thursday morning before school from 7:00am-8:00am if you would like to come in for help or to make corrections on your unit 1 summative.
