On the first block of the semester, students did an investigation to discover what is true about the length of the three sides of a triangle (the two short ones added together have to be more than the long one). And also, we discovered that the longest side of a triangle is always opposite the largest angle; the shortest side is always opposite the smallest angle.
Students did worksheets in class to apply these two truths and returned them to the substitute teacher. There was no homework.
Second block:
You may start a new notebook for this semester. Get a folder to keep homework handouts in.
We had a warm-up to practice applying the new triangle inequality truths from the last block. Also we worked on applying triangle sum and definition of isosceles triangle.
After the warm-up, we did partner work on triangle sum, linear pairs, vertical angles, and definition of isosceles triangle. These sheets were turned in to Ms. Bogart for a grade.
The homework assignment #1 was a hand-written handout that applies all of this new truth about tirangles. It is quick and fairly easy. Please finish the last page of the handout from last Thursday over putting angles and sides in order.
