Unit 4: Triangles and Triangle Congruence

This week, we will wrap up our fourth unit on triangles and triangle congruence.  We will spend Monday's class with a formative on proving triangles congruent.  Tuesday's class will be spent reviewing the entire unit and we will complete the Unit 4 Summative during class on Wednesday.  Students are invited to come in before school or during our lunchtime JIT if they would like some extra help.

On Friday, we will start our fifth unit on relationships within triangles.  Our focus for Friday will be on relationships formed when an angle bisector appears within a triangle.

What's Going On? November 8th through November 12th

Unit 4: Triangles and Triangle Congruence

This week, we will start to apply our knowledge of our triangle congruence shortcuts with a formal two-column proof.  Using this proof structure, and our five triangle congruence shortcuts, students will learn how to prove that two triangles are congruent.  Once we learn how to prove that two triangles are congruent, we will extend our knowledge and learn how to prove that parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

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

 Thought for the Week

Unit 4: Triangles

This week, we will continue our study of triangles.  We will complete a short formative assessment during Monday's class to check in on our understanding of triangle properties.  We will spend the rest of the week learning about triangle congruence shortcuts.  This will serve as the foundation for our ability to prove that two triangles are congruent in a two-column proof.

What's Going On? October 25th through October 27th

Shortened Schedule

This week, we will have a shortened schedule. Students will be released early from school on Wednesday and will not have school on Thursday and Friday.  Enjoy your break!

Unit 4: Triangles

This week, we will begin our study on triangles.  For this short week, we will spend this time investigating the properties of triangles.  Our focus will be on the properties of isosceles triangles, midsegments of triangles, and the triangle inequality theorem.

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

Parent-Teacher Conferences Wednesday

Parent-teacher conferences will take place this week on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 in the field house.  Conferences will run from 5-7pm.  Please stop by!

Wrapping Up Unit 3: Parallel Lines

This week, we will be wrapping up our third unit of the year.  On Monday, we will take a formative on writing equations for parallel and perpendicular lines to check our current level of understanding.  On Tuesday, we will spend a little bit of time investigating how geometry behaves in 3D.  We will review on Wednesday and complete our unit 3 summative on Friday.  Students who would like to get some extra help are welcome to come in before school our during our lunchtime JIT sessions.  Students can find me in room 300.

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

 Thought for the Week

Unit 3: Parallel Lines

The first part of this week will be devoted to talking about relationships that are formed when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. We will use the knowledge of these relationships to be able to prove that two lines are parallel.  Students should expect to complete a check-in formative to make sure that we are on the right track.  At the end of this week, we will start to talk about how to write equations for parallel and perpendicular lines.

Wrapping Up Unit 2: Reasoning and Proof

We will start off this week by doing a formal check-in on our understanding of two-column proof.  On Tuesday we will review for our summative and on Wednesday we will complete our second summative of the year.  Students who need some extra help are encouraged to come into room 300 during our JIT time before school or during lunch.  We will also work through the "Class Kick" app for our review so students can get some help outside of the school day.
