This week we'll start covering some new material.

*****If you have not already added me as your coach in Khan Academy, you must do so ASAP.

My username is squnell@kiheicharter.org

Your Reading log will be due on DAY 1 next week.

Day 1

• Warm-up - see TV
• Defining angles, measuring angles.
• If you own a protractor, please bring it to class this week.
• In class, we will complete the following exercises.

Homework: Define and illustrate each of the following Geometry terms:

1. vertex, obtuse angle, right angle, acute angle complementary angle, supplementary angle
2. find a picture of an angle in the real world (a railing, a flagpole, etc.)
3. Either print the picture on your computer or sketch it on your paper.
4. Complete the following sentence: This angle is a ____________________ angle because ...

Day 2

• Warm-up - see TV
• More Geometry Terms
• Pairs of angles
• Writing equations to find the measure of angles.

Homework: Define and illustrate each of the following Geometry terms:

1. complementary angle, supplementary angle, adjacent angles, vertical angles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines
2. Complete the following exercises. You should write an equation for questions 6-10: 

   Homework 1.10.12

Day 3

• Warm-up - see TV
• More on complementary and supplementary angles.
• We will work some examples in class and then you will complete some exercises in table groups.

**You will be graded today on Interpersonal Skills (your ability to work with your group).  You will solve the following problems in your group:

1. Answer the following in a short paragraph: Can two complementary angles have the same measure? Explain how you know (you may want to use a diagram).
2. Interpersonal Class work 1.12.12

Questions to think about for interpersonal skills:

• Am I doing my job to my best ability?  Am I letting others do the work?
• Am I paying attention or am I distracting my group members?
• Did we complete the work or did we just do a couple of problems?
• Did we ask the teacher questions if we needed help?

Your Reading log will be due on DAY 1 next week.

Welcome back.  Obviously there have been a few changes over the break, but I think I let you know that I would be your math teacher this semester.

Here's the plan for the short week.  I will see each class twice.

Day 1

Warm-up - see the board for warm-up problems.

Discussion

2. Have your parents sign the Math Syllabus - return it tomorrow Math Syllabus Spring 2012
3. Fix your School Concept page: Add your correct Math class, delete my Social Studies class.
4. Complete 30 minutes of review on Khan Academy
5. Optional: Homework 1.3.12

Day 2

Warm-up - see the board for warm-up problems.

Discussion - questions from yesterday,

Learning Topic - What Math concepts have you covered?

Homework 1.3.12

aMath Syllabus Spring 2012

Last week before break so we'll be taking it pretty easy this week - and I'll only see you once.

Part 1: Geospatial Revolution - we'll watch a couple short videos from this site

Part 2: You must complete one of the following in class today:

1. Logic Puzzles - get a handout from me. Stickers if you get it right.

2. Recreate an optical illusion - use this link: http://www.braingle.com/brainteasers/optical-illusions.php.  Choose any illusion and recreate it on a sheet of paper.

3. Complete a brainteaser, a puzzle hunt, or a mechanical puzzle from this website.
