Tomorrow students will get ready for a binder check for this upcoming Monday. I will be distributing the pratice test for Chapter 3 on Monday as well.

Today in class students were put into collaborative groups to complete a task called "Building Stairs." We will continue the task in class tomorrow. There is no homework assigned for tonight.

Today I was out for professional development. In class students were instructed to continue practicing what they learned about the Triangle-Angle Sum Theorem with problems from the textbook. There is no new homework tonight.

Today in class we took Quiz 6 on sections 3-2, 3-3 and 3-4.

We continued learning about Triangle Properties and continued Cornell Notes on 3-4.

Today in class I distributed Quiz 5 and reviewed the answers.

I awarded points to students who completed last night's homework in the Cornell Notebook.

I began lesson 3-4 on Parallel Lines and The Triangle-Angle Sum Theorem

Homework Due 10/25/2013 - Tear out page 299 in the Geometry Workbook, hole punch and put in homework section of your binder. Show all work and put a box around the final answers. Since we did not get to do many examples in class be sure to look at 148 in the Textbook for examples and help.

Tear out and bring Page 311 form the Workbook to class tomorrow!
