Summary of Week of March 3rd.

Last week we learned the properties of a parallelogram, rhombus, square, rectangle and Trapezoids.

For the properties of the square :
-Diagonals are congruent
- Diagonals are Perpendicular
- Diagonals bisect the angles.

For Rhombus :
- Two pair of adjacent sides . 4 equal sides
- Diagonals bisect angles.
- Diagonals are perp.

For Rectangle:
- Diagonals are congruent

For Parallelogram:
-Consecutive angles are supplementary
- Opposite angles are equal
- Diagonals bisect each other

For Trapezoid
- One pair parallel lines
- Same side interior add up to 180

These rules were quiet easy to memorize and we had a test on Thursday on this information.
I thought the hardest one to remember was the Rhombus.
We also did an activity on this... Mrs. D gave us a shape and one length or angle and we had to find the rest using all these rules.
We didn't really learn a lot this week. except those properties.
I really like this topic that we are learning in math right now.

I also found some really good sites on helping you with these problems.

Summary of Week of March 3rd.

Nameing Quadrilateralls.

Personal Growth

1. Is your progress what you expected it to be?

Well I think I have been slacking off a little bit too much and I think I should participate more in the class. In terms of the progress that I have made....there is none I am still slacking off since the begining of the year but this quarter will be diffrent!

2. How is your progress different than your expectations?

Well my expectations were that I would finish the mid term with an A and i ended up with a D. Not very good for me. Like i said above i have been slacking to much. But that will all change.

3. What are you doing in preparation for this class that you are proud of?

First I am not very proud of this class. I dont like the class alot. I get ready for the class the night before, I do my homework and I find my calculator and ruler and I get ready to learn in that class. ( Really didn't understand question, I wrote what I wrote what I thought we were suppose to write. sorry ! )

4. What are you doing that you could do better?

Right now I am actually doing everything that I am suppose to be doing, I am listing more in class and doing all my homework and Warm Ups, etc. I am prepared for class. I am really improving in math class.

5. What is preventing you from doing as well as you could possibly do?
Hahah... Well the people in the classroom are distracting. I mean I like everyone in that class and if they were more quieter then I would get alot more done, I am a talkative person... not going to lie.

My Growth Plan is that I keep on Behaving well in class, doing all my homework, being prepared for class and so on. I would mostly like to achieve the goal of a worker bee this quarter!!!!! :)

Bloggy. Time. Once! . Again

OK well i liked the Pythagorean theorem alot.
And example of this would be if you are looking for one side of a triangle. for example. If you had a right triangle and you had 2 of the sides but you were missing one of sides you could do the Pythagorean theorem. A2+B2= C2 . If the 2 sides were given like 4 and 5 and you had to find C you would do 16+25= C2, so you would add those together and then find the square root of the number. for this the answer would be 41 and the square root of that would be 6.40312424. There are also Pythagorean triples. they consists of 2, 3, 4 if you see any of those numbers you know it is a triple.
I like this Theorem alot. :)
Lazar travelled 3 miles up and then 5 miles right. what would be the distance across. 9+25= 36 and square root of 36 is 6 SO the answer is 6 miles.
