The Ithaca High School Geometry Blog

Thursday’s test will include some transformational questions; some on coordinate geometry from the past two weeks like slope, distance and midpoint, point-slope form of the equation, parallel/perpendicular lines, etc; a bit on parabolas; and also soving systems of equations.  There will be a page or two on the test devoted to each separate topic, but I may just mix them up to mix you up.

Don’t forget, there will be fudge(s) [What is the plural of 'fudge'?  Whatever it is, there will be several kinds] on Thursday, so don’t be tempted to start your vacation until you have taken  a piece or two plus your test!

And it’s not too late to request your favorite fudge flavor!

Do Student Study Guide 7.2 The Substitution Method #1-7 all.

Today’s assignment is a worksheet on solving systems of equations using substitution.   I was going to give you two worksheets, one on substitution and the other on parabolas, but decided to save the parabola worksheet for in class tomorrow.
