12/5/2007 Pre Algebra - Scientific Notation

Today we reviewed the concept of scientific notation with the students. In addition to converting numbers from scientific notation to standard form (and vice versa), we also ordered and compared numbers that are in scientific notation and multiplied numbers that are in scientific notation. Students did a worksheet in class and then worked on their assignment for Friday.

Homework:
p. 207 13-33 all, 40-50 even

12/5/2007 Applied Geometry - Rectangles, Squares & Rhombuses

We will continue our study of parallelograms today, focusing on special parallelograms: rectangle, rhombus & square. Students will use the properties of these special parallelograms to find side lengths and angle measures. They will also show that a particular parallelogram is one of these by showing that one of the properties is true. We did some worksheets together in class, then students worked on the graded assignment.

Homework:
p. 412 10-16, 18-31
