#38 is a construction. You will need a compass (which you should have, if you had paid attention to the list of necessasry materials given at the beginning of the year). We will go over this construction in class on Monday, but it will make much more sense for you if you have tried it for homework. Coming up later this marking period, I am planning on assigning a packet of constructions, sort of like a paper that you might write in English class or a project you might do for a Social Studies class. More details to follow.

Tomorrow we start on parallel and perpendicular lines.

If you need more time to finish your Chapter 1 Test, YOU must find the time. You may come into any of my classes (1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th in H214, 2nd in H218, 4th and 8th in H211) if you have a study hall, CAL, or lunch, or come before school to H214. You have until the beginning of your Geometry class to complete it. (Problems, conflicts can be dealt with on an individual basis: see me ASAP.)

pp. 60-62 #1-31 odd
This is the chapter review in the text. Please check your answers in the back of the book.
If you have specific questions, I’ll try to get back online by 6:30 to check and respond, and then again around 9.

Today we began reviewing for the Chapter 1 Test, which is Wednesday. We did a vocabulary review worksheet then went to the computer lab to explore lines and segments on Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP). What we did today on GSP will make using it later this year much easier. Tonight’s homework is a practice test.

Tomorrow we’ll check homework, go over the quiz you took on Friday, and then i’ll have a variety of worksheets that you can use to practice the skill and concepts which you need to work on the most prior to the test.

And one more thing: Happy Birthday to T.V. in 6th period.

“Chapter Test C”
This worksheet is an edited version of one test provided by the textbook publishers for this chapter. Your actual chapter test on Wednesday will cover the same material, but won’t look like this test. For just reviewing, you could do this homework assignment with your book available along with your notes. Or you could choose to do it like a test, no book and no notes.

Aargh! I can’t believe Iforgot to post the assignment Friday! Somebody should’ve called or emailed me and told me to get my you-know-what in gear! (Extra credit points always available for the first person to notify me when I haven’t done my job! Along with the satisfaction of telling a teacher what to do.)

(Sorry this wasn’t posted earlier today–for somewhy the website kicked me off when I was trying to post. Was it because I was trying to add Tetris to the sidebar?)
