Week of September 17, 2012
Monday: Students worked in teams on a lab activity (to apply the Law of Sines & Cosines) where they had to complete a rescue mission. Also, progress reports went out today. Please return them signed! If you have access to the Parent Assistance Module, grades have been updated, so please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns.
Homework: You should be working on your project, which is due next Friday! Also, make sure you study the notes from the lessons on our trig unit so that you will be prepared to retake the quiz.
Tuesday: Students were able to finish the lab activity from yesterday, and once they turned it in, they were given time to work on their portfolio projects in class.
Wednesday: Students were given time to work on their projects in class.
Thursday: Students were given time to work on their projects in class. (Please make sure that you pay attention to the rubric.)
Homework: Finish up your project over the long weekend. You should also be gathering your materials for the 3-D City project--we will begin building on Wednesday!
Friday: Teacher Work Day (no school for students)

Portfolio Project: Application of Law of Sines and Law of Cosines
THIS PORTFOLIO PROJECT IS DUE
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, 28, 2012
(You are expected to work on it at home, but there will be certain days dedicated to working on this in class...PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO START THIS!)

Week of September 10, 2012
Monday: We went over the homework that was assigned on Friday to make sure everyone understood how to write the Trig Ratios. Then, students were introduced to ways of finding parts of triangles (sides and angles) using the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.
Homework: Make sure the handout from Friday is complete and study the trig ratios and formulas!
Tuesday: Students worked through a Collaborative Annotation activity for the Law of Sines and Cosines.
Homework: Go through the examples from class and see if you can follow along with the solution process. Also, make sure that you are memorizing the formulas for the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. You should be prepared to explain the reasons to use a certain law based on given information.
Wednesday: Students continued working through the Collaborative Annotation activity, and then we discussed their solutions as a class.
Homework: Law of Sines and Cosines Review Worksheet (complete 3-4 problems with work shown on a separate sheet of paper). Also, remember that Unit 1 Test corrections are due tomorrow (Thursday 9/13/12)!!!
Thursday: We worked through additional practice problems for Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. Also, students were assigned their portfolio project on the Applications of Law of Sines and Law of Cosines (please see separate blog post for a copy of the handouts). If students scored an 80% or above on the Unit 1 Test, they were assigned Level B for the portfolio, and if they scored anything below 80%, they were assigned Level A. However, Level B is available for all students to attempt.
Homework: Complete 3-4 more problems from Wednesday's homework. It will be checked in on Friday along with all other classwork and handouts that have been assigned for this unit (Similarity & Congruence, Trig Ratios, and Law of Sines & Cosines).
Friday: Students were given a quiz on Trig Ratios and the Law of Sines & Cosines.
Homework: Start on your project!

Week of September 3, 2012
Monday: No School (Labor Day)
Tuesday: Students worked on an activity for triangle/polygon similarity. They cut out different triangles and categorized them into three groups (acute, right, and obtuse). Then, they measured all the sides and angles in order to discover the conditions for similarity.
Homework: Finish the Similarity Graphic Organizer & Proportion Problems
Wednesday: We continued our lesson from yesterday, and students learned about the different similarity and congruence theorems. Then, they worked at various stations to complete practice problems on using proportions and proving similarity and congruence.
Homework: Study the theorems!
Thursday: Students continued to work in stations.
Homework: Make sure all handouts and grapic organizers are complete
Friday: Students were assigned to groups based on the topics learned in each station. They created a poster of examples and explanations and presented a mini-lesson to the class. Then, we started a new lesson on trigonometric ratios.
Homework: Trigonometric ratios handout (have ready for Monday)
