I want to talk about your behavior in class today.  First, I wasn’t pleased with how many people came to class late.  There, I said the negative stuff.  Now on to the positives:  I was impressed by how quickly you got focused on math once you did arrive.  The ability to switch gears from the atmosphere of the quad during lunch to preparing to take a quiz is a sign of maturity, and frankly I was even a little surprised by how well you did it.  This encourages me even more about the successes we will experience in the days and weeks ahead.  Thank you.

P.S.  I hope your effort to focus turns into good scores on the quiz–I haven’t had a chance to look at them yet.

Copy the two definitions in Lesson 2.6 from the text into your notes.

Do p. 92 #10, 13 and p. 97 #1, 2, 3

Assignment for Thursday, October 2, 2008

Due Friday, 10/3/08

p. 92 #2a, 3, 4, 7 AND Study for tomorrow’s quiz

The quiz should only take about half the period, so we’ll have some time to address your questions before it.  Expect a short proof or two, some questions checking to see if you have learned any of the vocabulary definitions in this chapter, and also if you know the theorems.  Probably a problem integrating new geometry concepts with algebra skills.  This quiz covers text lessons 2.1 through 2.5. A good way to study, in addition to the homework problems assigned earlier this week, is the chapter review starting on page 104 through 109.
