6th Grade: Comparing Fractions !

In order to compare fractions, you must learn about equivalent fractions. Go to www.khanacademy.org and click on equivalent fractions under arithmetic and watch the video. It is a nice starter video in learning about comparing fractions.

Transition Summer.

From the high school to the middle school. Here I come!

Here is the Discussion Questions for Algebra and Geometry!

For GEOMETRY....if given a right triangle and you are told the following information:
The SIN of the angle is (9/41). Can you find the missing side? Please work out the problem on scrap paper and type out the solution/explanation in the discussion group in www.ATaylorsCorner.googlegroup.com

Here is a video related to the topic at hand:

Here is a video on the 2 Special Triangles!

45-90-45 Triangle!


30-60-90 Triangle!


There will be a blog question on this stuff coming soon. You will have to respond via the Google group!

Let The Discussion Begin!

Hi, Everyone in Geometry Class.
Can anyone solve the following problem? Give a clear explanation of the problem.

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF. BY is the altitude of triangle ABC, and is 10 units long. EZ is the altitude of triangle DEF, and is 25 units long. Find DE, if DE is 5k + 10, and AB is 6.

All who participate in the discussion, could earn 5 participation points (the equivalent of homework) one time for the day. This discussion ends on Friday.

Google Group to Come This Week

Hi.
My class will have a google group soon, ATaylorsCorner google group. On it, there will be discussions of class problems and various solutions to many equations.

In the meantime, here is a video on Pythagorean Theorem:

Parallel Lines and Proportional Parts

Here is a useful video for Section 7.4! It is similar to the homework and tomorrow's assignment:

More Triangle Stuff

Here is a video on ratios and proportions as it relates to the similar triangles:

This Week in Mathematics!!

It's a new year in Clintondale, not school year. Mid-Terms are fast approaching!
In Geometry, we are discussing this that are similar. Here is a video to discuss similar polygons:


Here is a video on solving a system of linear equations:


Here is a plant problem. It is similar to how we solved the Marker and T-Shirt problem in class.
