Class Topics: 01.25.12

In EDM today, students worked with Lesson 5.10: Parallelograms.  This is the last lesson of the unit and assists in seeing similarities and differences among the different quadrilaterals.  Refer to the chart below the help with differences.
In class, students...

• reviewed a recent Khan Academy skill that was assigned for homework on Monday.
• investigated the different angle measures of a quadrilateral.  
• completed various tiered assessments.

For homework, students SHOULD...

• complete MJ202.
• complete assignments not completed in class.
• complete Khan assignments from Monday.

Look at the characteristics of the
different quadrilaterals.  

In Pre-Algebra today, students traveled to Ancient Greece and met Uncle Pythagoras while working in Lesson 6.3 - The Pythagorean Theorem.  To begin, we viewed a video on The Pythagorean Theorem to help us get a visual on the method.  This promises to be a daunting task, but one that I know we are capable of in class.
In class, students...

• viewed a video on The Pythagorean Theorem.
• practiced applying the Pythagorean Theorem to triangles with missing legs and hypotenuses.  

For homework, students SHOULD...

• review the video posted below.
• complete the handout.  (First page odds/Third page all)
