Assignment for Thursday, February 28, 2008

Due Friday, 2/29/08

Please read over the Review on page 281

Optional:

p. 282-285 #7-25 odd (check answers in back)

p. 286 #1-11 odd (check answers in back)

Test tomorrow:  about half the test will be proofs, the other half will be all the other topics in the chapter.  One proof will be short (4 or 5 steps), one will be longer (7-9 steps).  One proof will come directly off the 8 Geometry Proofs handout.  There will probably also be a fill-in-blank proof.  Examples of ‘other stuff’ include ‘Which Theorem would you use to prove these triangles congruent?’ and ‘Find the values of x and y for the given triangle.’  Also, review the last quiz:  which problem did many of you get wrong because you didn’t do all the parts of it?   Hmmm.  Obviously that is a skill which needs to be tested again to see if you have improved.
