Today we reviewed finding percents (using proportions) in our warm-ups (page 424, 39-42). Then we talked about parallel and perpendicular lines, as well as skew lines. (Read the text, page 336-337). We also talked about angle relationships that will be on our quiz tomorrow. (See page 341 of the text.) Tonight's homework is on page 338 (1-10) of the textbook, and Workbook Lesson 7-3.

On Wednesday, our warm-ups will be on page 424(43-45), then we will learn to classify triangles. (See page 344-345.) The homework is on page 346 (1-14). We will also take our quiz on angles. Remember, we are not using protractors to measure angles; rather, we are simply naming the angles.

Thursday's warm-ups are on page 424 again, problems 46-48. After checking homework, we will learn to transform geometric shapes, using translations, rotations, and reflections. Read pages 365-366, then do page 367 (1-17.)

Friday's classes will be slightly shorter, to allow time for a chorus performance in the morning. Our warm-ups will be on page 425 (49-51). We will then practice a transformation (#18 on page 386), then do workbook lesson 7-5 on angles and 7-10 on transformations. Any work not completed in class on Friday should be finished as homework over the weekend.
