Geometry: 12/3 - 12/7

Geometers, our first quiz is this week. As you may know by now, chapter 5 in Geometry is your first "real" attempt as proofs. These proofs are based around congruence.

Have a great week. -Mr. Hanson

Algebra: 12/3 -12-7

We are starting chapter 5 in algebra: Linear Sentences. Here are some skills that you will learn in chapter 5:
  • Solve linear equations of the form ax + b = cx + d. (5-3, 5-8)
  • Solve linear inequalities of the form ax + b < cx + d. (5-6, 5-8)
  • Use chunking to simplify or evaluate expressions or to solve equations. (5-9)
  • Find equivalent forms of formulas and equations. (5-7)
Your first quiz will happen this week as well for chapter 5. Have a great week. -Mr. Hanson

Algebra 11/5-11/9

Algebra Scholars,

Can you believe it? Quarter 1 is in the books! Not to mention, your chapter 3 test is this week as well. Remember to print off your study guide from edline. The study guide will help you prepare for the test! Good luck.

Mr. Hanson

Geometry 11/5-11/9

Scholars,

We begin chapter 4, Reflections to Congruence, as we also begin quarter 2. This chapter contains a lot of constructing figures and their images. In other words, you may notice that your homework will take you a bit longer than normal this chapter. Please plan for that and use your class work time even more wisely than you usually do. ;-)

Have a great week! -Mr. Hanson
