Baylie had a review packet of questions about parallelograms that she worked through. We answered questions about things being "always, sometimes, or never" true or false about different types of parallelograms. She is able to differentiate between the types very well!
Baylie had exercises that asked about medians of triangles. The medians of triangles bisect each other. She had to find missing lengths using this information. She also had other theorems to work through and answer questions about. Great job!
Baylie had a review sheet that covered parallelograms, rectangles, and rhombuses. She had to answer questions about their characteristics, such as "All rectangles have..." or "Which one is not a characteristic of rhombuses". I drew pictures for her to show examples and counter-examples.
Baylie was given pictures of parallelograms, with certain properties listed on them. She was asked if they were rhombuses, rectangles, or squares. She had to remember the properties of the various shapes so that she could determine how to classify the parallelograms. She did a great job!
Baylie had exercises that asked her to identify rhombuses based on properties of parallelograms that they gave her. She had to check about the angles, side length, and diagonals to confirm whether or not the shapes were rhombuses. She did a great job!
Baylie did well on her quiz - she made a "B". We did some IXL exercises on systems of equations. She had to graph 2 equations to find the solution of them from the graph. Some of the equations were already in slope-intercept form, and others had to be put in slope-intercept form. She had to graph the y-intercept first, then use the slope to graph another point.
Baylie had a worksheet and IXL extra credit exercise. The worksheet had questions on writing equations of parallel and perpendicular lines given an equation of a line and a point. It also had questions about parallel lines cut by a transversal. Baylie had to identify angle relationships and find values of x by writing equations using those angle relationships. She did a great job with the exercises!
Baylie had a random IXL exercise about slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. Lines that are parallel have the same slope. Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other. In this case, the product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. Baylie was given equations of different lines and had to answer questions about the slopes of lines that are parallel or perpendicular to the given line. She did a great job!
Baylie had some challenge exercises that had her extend her knowledge of triangle measurements and transversals. We talked about the different ways to find missing angles. I showed her alternative ways of looking at problems. I also asked her to prove her assumptions based on geometric principles.
Baylie had 2 IXL assignments to work through. They were all practice on lines cut by a transversal, and the resulting angles that are formed. She answered questions about angle types, classifications, and measurements. She did a great job!
