Day Two of Review for Chapter 5

Today in class, we continued are discussion about Chapter 5. On the test there will be questions about perpendicular bisectors (circumcenter), angle bisectors (incenter), altitudes (orthocenter), medians, midsegments, triangle inequalities, and vocabulary.

For the past two days, we had to answer questions like: (copy and paste the link through Google to see)

Let's Continue the Chapter 5 Review

Today, let us review perpendicular bisectors, altitudes, angle bisectors, and medians. For the test you should know how to draw and label each one them.

Here is a video on a the median of a triangle.


Here is a video on the altitude of a triangle.


Here is a video on the angle bisector of a triangle.

Chapter 5 Mid Review

So last week, we had 9 jargon words to summarize Chapter 5. They are altitude, median, perpendicular, bisector, inequality, comparison,circumcenter, incenter, and orthocenter.  Below are pictures from class of the work we did in making our graphic organizers.

Last week, we also practice making the orthocenter - intersection of 3 altitudes, the circumcenter - intersection of 3 perpendicular bisectors, and the incenter - interesection of 3 angle bisectors on a website called Geogebra.

Go to www.geogebra.org, through Google Chrome to practice.
