March 30, 2012 Periods 2,5,7

Students completed factoring problems on the board from CMR, 12-12, both sides of the handout. Students in period 2 were assigned homework in this regards. Students in periods 5 and 7 worked on factoring x^2 + bx + c problems. No homework was assigned. For Monday, April 9, page 873: 1-13 can was given as homework.

Geometry, March 29, 2012 Period 2,5,7

Students were assigned practice problems on multiplying binomials. Students completed (in period 7 and 5) fractions review problems.

Geometry, March 28, 2012 Period 2,5,7

Students were assigned problems from the Mathematics Assesment Project circles packet to complete.
For homework students were assigned page 703: 36-37, applications progblems involving circles.

Geometry, Period 7, March 27, 2012

Students began a short, general math warm up activity. After five minutes, the warm up was collected. Students then reviewed the teacher created homework and kutasoftware activity. Afterwards, students checked the teacher created review sheet for equations of a cricle, taken from the MAP project assignment. Then, the teacher projected some TenMarks questions on circles for the students to answer. This provided a good opportunity for problem solving.

The daily homework was the same as period 5 homework.

Geometry, Period 5, March 26, 2012

Students completed the Going round in circles handout.

Students completed textbook warm up problems

Students began homework assignment in class, textbook, page 702-703, 3:-26.

Geometry, Period 2, March 26, 2012

Students looked at videos from the department youtube channel.

Students facilitated discussing the two equations using a graphic organizer

Students completed questions on page 436 in the Algebra and Trig textbook. Students created a table of equation, radius, and center, from the questions on page 436: 5-12.

HOMEWORK; students are to complete the teacher created handout, and complete the kuta software problems on the back of the teacher created handout.

Geometry, Period 2, March 26, 2012

Homework - Students will create a table of 10 equations of circles with c enter at the origin.

center, radius, point on circle, and equation of circle will be the columns of the table.

Class today focused on page669 and 700 in the textbook.

The forumla for the equation of a circle was derived using the pythagorean theorem.

The difference between coordinate and non coordinate circles were contrasted and compared.

The standard equation and the non standard equation of a circle were also compared and contrasted

A graphic organizer was created that had a circle in the middle, equation of a circle, and the two distinct equations for a circle at the center and non center.

At the end of class, students began to work on creating equations with the center at (h,k). Problems 2 and 3 on page 700 were discussed.


The end of class activity was to complete the teacher created handout, problems 1,3.
