The test on constructions will consist of 7 challenges which the students received in class today.  All seven challenges can be turned in before they are due, but all must be turned in by Monday,  February 23.  Little if any class time will be designated for this work.

Extra Review and Practice is now online!

I have set up review and practice exercises that you can access online.  These can be helpful for parents as well.  Examples and complete explanations are provided for most if not all of what we have covered in the algebra unit.  Algebra constitutes the biggest percentage of the CRCT questions in mathematics.  It is a great idea to practice these skills any way possible.

Challenges From Ancient Greece Activity

On Tuesday, February 3, all classes began the activity which you will find using the link below.  By the end of class on Wednesday, these should all be turned in.  The historical information in the paragraphs at the beginning of the activity contains testable information.  You need to know the names of the Euclidian tools for example.  Keep this paper.

I'll be glad when everyone is back!

Geometry Rocks!

Here are three important links that will help you catch up if you are absent and are also great ways to practice constructions and new vocabulary definitions.  There is also a copy of the power point that we are using in class so you can make sure your notes are complete.

Geometry Unit is Next

Our new unit on Geometry will include constructing geometric figures with a pencil compass and straight edge.  I will supply your student with these tools for classroom use but he or she will need one to keep at home.  I suggest the plastic type compass that they sell at Office Depot.  They usually cost about $2 but I heard they were on sale for less.  These have a tightening screw where the two pieces attach at the top.  Without this screw some compasses tend to be too loose to work properly.  You may want to start looking now as every 7th grader is buying one.  Everybody also needs to have a ruler or other straight edge for drawing straight lines.  These will be needed early next week but remember they can stay at home.

Thanks!
