Honors Geometry - Proof Writing

No likes proof writing...but it is necessary. 
Time to brush up on your lawyer skills. 
Later, we are going to solve a court case. 



These are Algebraic proofs. We will solve so Geometry proofs soon enough.

STEG 2.0


STEG 2.0 involves exploring a systems of linear equations. What situation is best to express a story:  a table, a graph or an equation?

Superman and Butter Pecan Ice Cream is coming up!

Things This Week in AGA2 Class!

We are working on STEG (Story Table Equation Graph) problems.

My first hour group did this problem:
Luci donates her hair to cancer survivors. 
In twelve months, Luci has grown 7 inches of hair. 
In the first month, Luci had 1.5 inches of hair.
Use STEG to express this problem in different ways.

Can you figure out how they did this?


Another first hour group did this problem. They were given a table.

x = miles                       y = dollars
0                              13
2                              16
3                          17.50
10                               28
Use STEG to express this problem in different ways.

Yeah Honors Geometry - Reasoning and Proof!

Here are some notes from today's class:


Think of some generic examples and specific examples for class tomorrow.

In the coming week, STEG!

STEG is an acronym that stands for "story, table, equation, graph". These are the different ways to represent Algebra. We are going to practice this for the next two weeks.

Our Amphibious Project is involved with STEG. 

First Hour - Starfish
Second Hour - Stingray
Fourth Hour - Dinosaur
Fifth Hour - Octopus


We will be recording the lengths of the objects each day; this is the table portion.
Next week will do the graph portion. For the last two weeks, we have been practicing the story (interpreting) and equation (creating and solving).

It is a NEW SCHOOL YEAR!!

During the first week of the new school year, we went over the syllabus and reviewed how to solve linear equations.


Next week, we are going to do some work problems involving linear equations - in preparation for the Junior year exam.
