Thought for the Week
Modified Schedule for the Week
Our sophomores and juniors will take the ACT on Tuesday, March 9th. Because of this, we will run a modified schedule. Monday will be a "Tuesday-style" schedule. On Tuesday, only sophomores and juniors will report to school. Freshmen and Seniors will have the day off. The rest of the week, will run as normal.
Wrapping Up Unit 8 and Beginning Unit 9
On Monday, students will take our summative assessment on our triangles unit. On this assessment, students will be asked to solve for missing measurements in right triangles and non-right triangles. The items in our tool kit that students could use to solve these problems include:
Right Triangle Tools:
- Pythagorean Theorem
- Special Right Triangle Patterns
- Isosceles Right Triangle
- 30-60-90 Triangle
- Trigonometry: SOH CAH TOA
Non-Right Triangle Tools:
- Law of Sines
- Law of Cosines
On Wednesday, we will dive into unit 9. In this unit, students will discover circle properties. We will start by talking about circle-specific vocabulary and we will learn how to write the equation for a circle. We will also talk about how we can solve for measurements in a circle using tangent properties.
