measures based on definition of midpoint and angle bisector.
 Check Geometric Truth: all in one place? All caught up? Good sketches? What to fix.
 Pass out quiz topics. Learn how to study.
 Check warm-up and homework.
 Popcorn: name the polygon based on the number of sides.
 Go over polygon vocabulary and sketches. What is important? Carefully discuss congruent
polygons and model.
 Sketching practice – 4 problems. Share.
 Quiz 1.1-2 – 18 pts
 HW #6b: p 57:17-21, 23-25. Also define from pp 60-61: types of triangles. Copy
sketches. (A triangle that…)
 All but 1st period – start review worksheet after you finish the quiz in class.

Tues-Wed, Sept 13-14, 2016
Objective: I can demonstrate mastery over basic geometric terms, sketching, naming, labeling,
interpreting, and applying algebra to definitions.
 Warm-up: worksheet finish – angle pairs, naming, identifying, algebra, T/F

 Quiz 1.1-5a – 36 pts
NO HOMEWORK
Thurs-Fri, Sept 15-16, 2016
Objective: I can discover, interpret, and apply angle pair relationships, including parallel lines
and transversals.
 Make-up issues. Quiz graded? Most missed, etc.
 Preview: the process of investigate, write up, apply on homework by using what you now
know to be true. You figure it out.
 Investigations 2.5.1-2 on pp 120-121.
 Write up C 1-2 on pp 120-121. Use sketches from investigations.
 Activity: naming angle pairs from top of p 126. (Make sure you know that the names
exist whether the lines are parallel or not.)
 Investigation 2.6.1 – parallel lines and transversals – congruent CA, AIA, AEA. How to
use patty paper and what it is useful for.
 Write up C-3 Parallel Lines (bottom of p 127). Use sketch from investigation.
 Sketch on board with non-congruent AIA. What would make these lines parallel?
Therefore, is the converse true for C-3? Is the converse true for C-1? C-2? Only 3.
 Write up C-4 on p 129. (parallel)
 HW #7 – p 122-3:1-10, pp129-30: 1-7. Give a angle relationship reason for each missing
angle (VA, LP, CA, AIA, AEA).
Mon-Tues, September 19-20, 2016
Objective: I can interpret angle relationships and argue deductively to find reasons.
 Warm-up: four lines, identify angle pairs. For 3 classes, do a quiz bonus
 Take a grade over HW #7 – 4 pts
 Share warm-up (popcorn out loud).
 Share HW answers on screen. Students tell why. Use #7 to talk about transversals
crossing multiple lines. Use #5 for consecutive interior angles being supplementary.
 What is a postulate? Argue deductively: If linear pairs are supplementary, then vertical
angles must be congruent. If CA are congruent, then so are AIA.
 Constructed response – 5 minutes silent, then work with partner.
 HW#8 – review handout
 View quizzes. Quiz hints for Wed-Thurs
Wed-Thurs, September 21-22, 2016
