2/23 Pre Algebra

Today we were finding square roots. Students took notes reviewing the concept of a square root, learning how to estimate a square root that is a not a perfect square and solve equations by finding square roots. After taking notes, we did some example problems together, then students completed an assignment in class.

Assignment:
p. 456 #'s 16-32, 41-52 all 54-57 all (completed and turned in during class)

2/23 Applied Geometry

Today we continued with our study of area. We found the area of composite figures, that is, figures that are made up of multiple shapes. For example, a triangle and a rectangle, a rectangle and a semi circle. There are no new area formulas, we will simply be using the formulas from previous sections to solve.
