Midsegments

Another slight change in plans- no benchmark retakes today, we will retake them next week.
First off, we got back our benchmarks from before Thanksgiving and went over them. We also got the solutions to the benchmark review from yesterday. Check them out here.
We then took a look at Midsegments, their properties, and some examples of [...]

Benchmark Review 2

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Due to my absence today, my plans for the last few weeks of the semester got seriously altered. No worries, we’ll get it done.
Today we worked on the Benchmark Review #2. This review covered a lot of the benchmarks we took last week before Thanksgiving. Performance wasn’t [...]

Benchmark Wednesday

With Monday being block and Wednesday being a short day, it makes perfect sense to take Benchmarks today. So the new benchmarks, BM 18, BM 22, and BM 24, as well as retakes on BM 14, BM 19, and BM 21 took place today.
Coming Up:
- Grade Report #3 Due Thurs/Fri block (11/29-30)- BM 18-24 (some [...]

Review

With Wednesday’s big day for benchmarks, today we review a lot!
We took a look at all the benchmarks that we will take, from proving 2 lines are parallel (BM 14), to proving 2 triangles are congruent (BM 24). Here are the solutions to the two assignments from last week as well (EXCELLENT STUDYGUIDES!). #36 solutions [...]

More Congruent Triangles

We continued our congruent triangle study with more practice. Today’s handouts are excellent practice for our benchmarks, 22 and 24. We spent most of the class on these activities, so you can get them here. #36 Triangle Congruence WS and #37 4.3-4 WS.
Coming Up:
BM 14, 18-24 on Wednesday, 11/21

Proving Triangles are Congruent

Big day today in the world of triangles. We got our 5 congruency rules for proving triangles are congruent, which is what benchmarks 22 and 24 cover. SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL allow us to prove two triangles are congruent. The notes have a more detailed description as well as examples. There are two [...]
