Math 8

Today, we spent time going over the summary for investigation 2.3. We worked on finding the equation of a line from a graph, table, and two points. Since we spent so much time reviewing how to find the equation of the line and our homework, we did not get a chance to start investigation 2.4. It will be our homework.

Geometry

Today we began constructing parallel and perpendicular lines. The initial parallel line construction is based on copying an angle and using the corresponding angles postulate. Students can also use properties of parallelograms (such as squares and rectangles) to create parallel lines.

Here are a few videos to further assist with our understanding of parallel line constructions. Homework is #1 & 2 in the practice.
