It is always nice to have friends. Real friends that is....

 Here is what we are doing in math this week.

Algebra 2 students will finish Chapter 4 this week. We will start by representing translations, dilations, reflections and rotations with matrices. Students will take a Chapter 4 practice test on Tuesday. They will start their Chapter 4 Test on Wednesday and finish it on Thursday.

Geometry students will learn to use and apply properties of isosceles triangles. They will be able to prove triangles are congruent by using the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem. We will identify congruent overlapping triangles and prove two triangles congruent by first proving two other triangles congruent. 

Mr. Martin and I are looking forward to seeing you this week for parent teacher conferences.  

Seems like there are always plenty of problems in this world. We are going to use math to solve all of ours this week.

Algebra 2 students will start a new chapter this week on matrices. We will identify them and find their elements. We then learn how to add, subtract and multiply them. Students will also learn how to use matrices to represent translations, dilations, reflections and rotations of geometric figures.

Geometry students will start a new chapter this week on congruent triangles. We will begin by recognizing congruent figures and their corresponding parts. We will prove triangles are congruent by SSS, SAS, ASA postulates and the AAS theorem. Students will use triangle congruence and 'corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent' to prove the parts of two congruent triangles are congruent.

A cute couple. They 'compliment' each other.....

The end of the first nine weeks!
Algebra 2 students will be finishing the nine-weeks by solving systems of equations with three variables. They will take their Chapter 3 Practice Test and Chapter 3 Test. They need to make sure  all of their missing assignments, quizzes and tests are made up by this Thursday.

Geometry Students will by finishing the nine-weeks by finding parallel and perpendicular lines and writing their equations. They will take their Chapter 3 Practice Test and Chapter 3 Test. They need to make sure  all of their missing assignments, quizzes and tests are made up by this Thursday.
