9/29/06 Applied Geometry

We have a short lesson today, beginning our focus on triangles. In the first section of the chapter, our objectives are:

1) Classify triangles by their angle measures
2) Classify triangles by their side lengths
3) Find angle measures and side lengths in triangles

Students filled out some worksheets containing our 7 definitions, we worked through some of the algebra involved in find side lengths in isosceles and equilateral triangles, then they practiced with a worksheet and did a short, graded assignment.
