What's Going On? March 5th through March 9th

Finishing Up Unit 8: Triangles

During class on Monday, students will continue our preparation for our unit 8 summative.  Students will review by playing "Castle Attack", a team-based competition that will feature several review problems from our unit.  On Tuesday, students will complete the unit 8 summative.  This assessment will include two learning targets:
  • 3d: I can solve for missing measures in right triangles
  • 3h: I can solve for missing measures in non-right triangles
Students will need to demonstrate their knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem, special right triangles, and right triangle trigonometry for our first portion of the test.  For the second part of the test, students will show how to use the Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and how to find the area of a non-right triangle.  Any students who need a little extra review are invited to attend our Class Kick session on Monday night from 8:30-9:30pm.




Unit 9: Circles

Once we finish up our eighth unit about triangles, we will dive into circles.  We will spend Wednesday's class talking about circle terminology as well as how to write the equation of a circle.  During our last class of the week, we will talk about lines tangent to a circle and the types of relationships that are formed.
