What's Going On? April 1st through April 5th

Welcome Back!


I hope everyone had a chance to rest and relax over spring break!  At this point, we have 9 more weeks of school.  Let's see how much we can learn between now and the end of the year!

Wrapping Up Unit 9: Circles

Upon our return from spring break, we will wrap up our ninth unit on circles.  During class on
Monday, we will review our material from unit 9, including chord, tangent, and secant properties.  Students should expect to see a summative assessment during class on either Tuesday or Wednesday.  Once this is complete, we will begin our tenth unit on area.

What's Going On? March 18th through March 22nd

Unit 9: Circles

This week, we will continue our focus on the properties of circles.  We will focus on "inscribed angles" during class on Monday. Then will focus on angles created by secants and tangents.  We will end the week by talking about relationships that exist between circles and the lengths of line segments.  Students should expect to see a formative assessment or two this week to check in to make sure that we're on the right track.

What's Going On? March 11th through March 15th

Unit 9: Circles


This week we will begin our circle unit.  On Monday we will focus on how we can write the equation of a circle.  For the rest of the week, we will focus on the relationships formed when chords, secants, and tangents are drawn in a circle.  This unit comes with a lot of vocabulary related to circles, so to help with the familiarity of these terms, students will participate in an activity where we create physical models of the parts of a circle.
