Wednesday, April 15

No new notes today!  We're gong to take what we've learned this week and apply it in different activities.

The first one is an in-class activity.  If you were not in class today, don't worry about completing this one!  :-)

Tonight assignment is a project you will be working on today and tomorrow.  You will create a map of Parallel City using the angles relationships we've recently learned.

This assignment is a project, so it's worth more than a typical homework.  It is due Friday, and it will be graded on accuracy and creativity.

Click here for the map activity.  Use a piece of construction paper or plain printer paper to complete this project.  Remember, it will be graded like a quiz, so do your best!

Tuesday, April 14: Transversals

Today we learned about Transversals, and more specifically, the angles that are created when a transversal cuts through 2 or more parallel lines.

There are 3 new angle relationships we learned today:

• Corresponding Angles

• Alternate Interior Angles

• Alternate Exterior Angles

We created a flip book for each of the new relationships (see below).  We found that Corresponding Angles, AIA, and AEA are all congruent.

Tonight's homework was to finish the Angles Packet that was passed out yesterday.

Monday, April 13: Angle Relationships

Today we learned about Supplementary Angles, Complementary Angles, Vertical Angles, and Adjacent Angles.

We started by defining each on a piece of paper we folded into fourths.  Then we created an example for each and discussed each relationship.

Supplementary Angles: the sum of their measures is 180^o.

Complementary Angles: the sum of their measures is 90^o.

Vertical Angles:  Angles that are across from each other than share a vertex are congruent.

Adjacent Angles: Angles that share a common side and a vertex.  Adjacent angles are not necessarily congruent.

Examples of each are shown below in the notes we took in class.
