Triangles are fun!!!!

You have been working so great on these triangles - we are going to do a little practice with word problems.

similar word problems - skip down to page 8 to the practice questions

Oh Triangles

I found a cute poem that might help you remember triangles

 

Triangles

Types of triangles?
More than 5,
Have three angles,
Have three sides...

Right ones first,
Pythagoras knows,
All right triangles,
Fabulous those!
Now we've started,
Getting loose,
Right tri's long side?
Hy-pot-e-nuse!

Equilateral?
Sides the same,
Angles equal,
It's their game!

Isosceles?
2 equal sides,
2 equal angles,
Playground slides!

Scalene triangles,
Have one catch,
Different sides,
No angles match!

Acute triangles?
Sides in threes,
All angles less,
Than 90º,

Obtuse triangle?
Angle measure,
More than 90,
What a pleasure...
Those are 6...
Types of tri's
Have 3 angles,
Have 3 sides...

 

 

Ok now for some triangle practice

pythagorean Theorem video

 

I am giving several links for practice - The idea is to see pythaogrean's theorem in several formats and allow you lots of practice - khan academy also has some videos and practice

A little more work with triangles to start with

Now for some angle practice

Comp. and Sup. angle practice

Intro to a few more geometry terms, be familiar with these terms
- keeping a vocab list or making cards can really help when learning these words - just sayin

vocab terms

See you back in class ;)

Let's cross our fingers and hope for some warmer weather - I don't know about you but I'm ready for winter to be over.  But I guess if the weather was too nice it would be hard to stay inside and do your homework



One more percent link

khan percent practice

Now for some geometry

We are going to start with angles and triangles

angle practice

types of trianges - work on knowing these - there could be a little quiz (hint hint)

I thought this was appropriate considering  our topic and our weather today :)

So now for some % practice - try this link along with the paper homework I sent with you.

I know I'm a little late in getting this post done and I hope you will accept my apology -
When I got home yesterday we loaded our little herd in the car and drove to Glenns Ferry to visit my husband grandpa - who has not been doing very well lately.  Needless to say it was a long night by the time we got home - so again I'm sorry if you were looking for the new post yesterday :)

Ok - Now let's get down to business!

Percents Practice

Math 6 Spy Guy / video & practice

proportion practice - examples and practice (this one is really good)

14 ? quiz

We will work a little bit more with % on Tuesday - Please come prepared with any questions!  Have a great weekend.

An End and a Beginning

We are about finished working with statistics / probablility and we are going to move on to percents.  So our post for today will work with both.  If you are finding yourself struggling with stats please let me know and I will get you some more material to work with.

Now onto some percent stuff - I am linking you to khanacademy for Sal to show you a video on how he solves a percent problem and I am also linking you to purple math - this site gives a good intro and shows several problems - the key in both of these links is for you to be familiar with the basic parts of a percent problem and how we can identify them for solving problems

I'm a far side fan and I thought I would share :)

Review

Stats and Probablility

We have done quite a bit this week with statistics and probablility so I think it is time for a little review

Make sure you know what these words mean

Mean
Median
Mode
Range
Probability

Now for some actual practice

stats & probablility quiz - short but good

If you need extra help - remember to come to open lab on Monday  10-2

Probablility

 

You guys did great with the basic statistics stuff that we did today in class!
So - on to the next thing and that is probablility
We are going to start off with Sal's explaination of probablilty and then some practice
I am also going to include a link for extra practice for the stats stuff we did today - that way you can continue to practice with mean, meadian, mode, and range.
