In Algebra .. & In Geometry ...

The vocabulary words for Algebra are:

Term     Opposite     Subtraction     Integer     Division     Linear Equation
Linear Inequality     Multiplication     Addition    

We put them in a padlet.

Tomorrow, we will cover Multiplication (and Division) with Linear Equations. YouTube it.

The vocabulary words for Geometry are:

Conclusion     Conditional     Contrapositive     Counterexample     Deductive     Hypothesis
Inductive     Inverse     Law of Detachment     Law of Syllogism    Negation

We will put them in a padlet.

Geometry, we are converting statements into If/Then statements; we will locate the hypothesis and conclusion of each conditional statement. Each conditional statement can be expressed as the converse, inverse and contrapositive. YouTube it.

HW in Geometry

There are many applications to AAP (Angle Addition Postulate). One is peripheral vision. Here is a video on peripheral vision:



I will be asking you questions in class. Think about how is this related to AAP.


Here is an image to think about. What is the value of angle AFB and CFD?
