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)
