Last Topic on Final Exam!

Parent (Functions) Graphs

We will be looking at:
Linear Functions

Quadratic Functions

Cubic Functions

Rational Functions

and Exponential Functions

This week in AGA !

We created a quadratic function from two to three points, and changed it into the vertex form of the quadratic equation.




Can you follow the steps and provide the quadratic equation for each problem below?

Quadratic Functions and Equations

For the last two weeks, we have discussed and reviewed quadratics.

We discussed the important parts: vertex, amplitude, and axis of symmetry.

We discussed missiles being launched. We discussed pumpkins being launched.


We discussed writing a quadratic function in vertex form and graphing it.


We discussed finding the zeroes using the quadratic formula.

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}

Starting Quadrilaterals This Week .. Leading Into Next Week

Quadrilaterals

Parallelograms

Rectangles

Squares

Rhombi

Trapezoids

Kites

Can you make an accurate diagram of how the quadrilaterals are related to one another?

Honors Geometry: "Centers"

Hi do you remember which center is which? Which center helps you place a garbage can in the middle of three restaurants? Which center helps you place a statue in a park with three walkways? Which center is the center of mass?

Test Part 3: Parallelograms

Here are the final problems for the test review for Honors Geometry and Geometry:

Honors Geometry Students!

In addition to regular Geometry, here are some notes or problems from class to redo.

Do you remember how to do solve an EAT problem? Do you remember how to prove an EAT problem?

Do you remember how to do midsegment problems?

Test Review Part 2: Midsegments

Here are the notes from Thursday. These problems will look similar to questions 4 - 6 on Monday's exam.

Today's notes will be posted later today in the evening.

Test Review Part 1: AAA Similarity

Midsegments and More

Honors Geometry - We are reviewing AAA Similarity and moving into midsegments.
Geometry - We are leaving midsegments and headed to Quadrilaterals.

Here are some notes from today on how to prove a midsegment in a triangle: The points of the triangle are A(-8, 2) B(0, -10) C(8, -2).

Can you find the value of x and y in the below picture?

What is the connections between XY and AC? What is the connection between

New Stuff to Review in Geometry!

HW #4 is due on February 20. If you can't log on, email me sooner rather than later.

CPCTC in Geometry Class.
SAS, SSS, AAS, and ASA. Here are some review problems we discussed this week:

There will be 4 questions like the station questions around the room.

It's a New Year! 2019! Year of the Pig!

January is a busy month! In Geometry and Honors Geometry Classes, the calendar looks like this:



In the last few school days, we talked about summations. Here is an example:


In Geometry Class, we also talked about the comic project due on January 11, 2019:
Comic Project

Last week, we talked about CPCFC (Similar to CPCTC). Here is a review video:
