Today we finished up chapter 3 with a full proof for parallel lines. This is what benchmark 14 will cover (and we take it on Monday with retakes for 9-11 and 13). You can download the examples we did in class here.
Since we did finish chapter 3, we also had a Chapter 3 Review for homework #24. Be sure to use a separate piece of paper!
Coming Up:
- BM 9-11, 13-14 on Monday (10/22)
- Benchmark Exam on First block (10/23-24)
- Chapter 3 Test on Second block (10/25-26)
Also, this weekend there will be a “Practice Chapter 3 Test” onMoodle. Make sure you take it before the real test at the end of the week!
Posting for points Question:
What is the general process of a proof, especially the examples we did in class? What do you start with, what do you end with, and what can/can’t you do?

The general process of a proof is to to explain every thing that you do and give a reason that you can do it.
like that?

proofs consist of one or more given items and a conclusion that you must reach. To get there you must write out every step you take and using the rules surrounding the type of problem you are dealing with, you write out the steps that you take to get from one step to the next, eventually reaching the given conclusion.

Proofs is to prove or support that the answer is true. They usually start with the given: a fact that the problem gives you and they end with the answer. So it is like exampling how you get the answer.

Proofs have given statements that lead to the braking down of the problem, which explains the problem its self. You can’t add stuff in to the equation that isn’t there. You wright out the steps along with statements. Proofs are done so we can prove that the problem is true.

Basically, proofs are the written steps you take to solve a problem. For each proof, you start with what is given and you end with the proof the problem gave you. You can’t change what you are trying to prove and you can’t include things in your proof that you can not prove.

basically proofs are a certian nimber of steps that proves a problem or statement true. you cant add or change the problem that you cant prove.

Proofs are step by step breakdowns of problems. Usually you start off with the given information, and finish it by yourself. Its basically just explaining your ansewer.

Proofs are were you explain everything that you do and prove them with a reason.You start and end with the statement and end with the same statement.What you can do is write down statements and proving them with reasoning.What you can not do is just do reasoning, not putting the given reason down and not doing it right.

Proofs, is when you do an equation the proof is what explains each step to prove an the answer is right
