Unit 5: Relationships in Triangles

This week, we will work on our fifth unit of the year and focus on relationships that exist within triangles.  For this unit, students will need to bring in a compass and ruler in order to perform some of our constructions.  Students will also need to download the app "Construction Tutor Lite" so that we can investigate how we can perform constructions using technology.

This is an extremely short unit.  Students should expect to see a summative assessment before Thanksgiving break.  If students take care of all of their responsibilities in the 7 school days leading up to Thanksgiving, they will have a Geometry-free holiday.

We will start the week by talking about angle bisectors.  After this, we will work with perpendicular bisectors and medians in triangles.  We will finish the week by exploring altitudes in triangles.  Students should expect to see a formative or two throughout the week so we can make sure that everyone is on the right track.
