WORD WALL IS DUE or ZERO!!

Go to padlet.com and make your word wall. Send it to me if you haven't. Some of you forgot to put pictures on it and I notified you. It is now a zero, if it is not done soon.

Using missiles to find the vertex!

Completing the Square helps to find the vertex (Time, Distance).

Rockets and Quadratics

We started talking about - "Quadratics can help measure distance through time."

S. T. E. G.  with Quadratics

Go in order .. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5!

New Stuff in Honors Geometry

We had an interesting discussion on Pythagorean Triples, prime ones.

We eventually started talking about special right triangles - 30 60 90.

Proportional RIght Triangles

Here are two videos that we watched in class. The narrator speaks on separating the problem to see the comparisons to be made.

In some classes, we used three methods to figure out the height of buildings, objects, etc.

The Mirror Method

The Book Method (Geometric Mean)

The Clinometer

Fractals will be on the Final!

Here is some jargon to know about fractals...
conjecture - an educated guess
length - the number of copies of the original shape along the bottom
size - the number of copies in the shape (no matter the orientation)
stage - the shape/figure that is similar to the previous shape/figure

Last week, we talked about what a fractal is not ....

We came up with the fact that LENGTH ^ DIMENSION = SIZE.

Then, we talked about what a fractal is ...

We came up with the fact that LENGTH ^ DIMENSION = SIZE and the dimension is not a whole number.

Attention Students, Tuesday is the last day to retake the test!!

Here is a study guide for thoughts needing to retake the test for a second go around only!!

Problems 1 - 3 are on AAA Similarity. Please watch the video below.



Answer the following questions:
1) What five statements can you say about the two triangles? (Don't use numbers in your statements!)
2) What two parts of the triangle are being compared to one another in the video?
3) If triangle QMO ~ triangle DAB, find the value of x if QM = 5y - 3, DA = 3y + 2 and
Problems 4 - 6 are on Midsegments of a Triangle. Please watch the video below.



Answer the following questions:
4) What are five true statements based on the video?
5) If a triangle's midsegment is 4h + 10 and the parallel side to the midsegment is 10h - 6, what is the value of the midsegment?

Problems 7 - 8 are on Parallelograms. Please watch the video below.



6) What types of quadrilaterals are there?
7) What are five true statements about the trapezoid in the video?
8) If one side is 5y - 8 and its opposite side is 8y - 13, then find the measure of one interior angle = 3y + 100? What is the other angle measure in the parallelogram?

Problem 9 is on Statistics. Please watch the video below.



9) If you have a TI -84. Make a list of the following numbers: 10, 35, 79, 23, 89, 59, 59, 93, 47.
Figure out the mean, median, standard deviation, and range.

Problem 10 is on 24 Challenge.
How many ways can you get 24, using addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division?
{3, 4, 5, 5} or {2,4,5, 11}
