Geometry Notes: Segment Addition

We have had a nasty virus spreading through the school and therefore I caught it along with my three children.  So, I have had plenty of material to post, just no time to post the information.  The positive, tons of interactive notebook goodies.  Tons of pictures and some good tips that I have learned along the way when teaching geometry. 

Segment addition and angle addition work well together in a foldable. I think it helps kids see the same applied math to different shapes. 

I was quite surprised my first year teaching how many students need a review of the yellow box. 

Breaking down problems in geometry as two parts and a whole really helps them set up equations. 

Geometry basics (and a cute baby)

And I am back. After a baby that was suffering from an ear infection and then turned out to be allergic to amoxicillin, I can truly say I am glad to have time to blog again. So this post will have several goodies, just because it has been a while.

First, I have been searching through sites such as issuu and flipsnap in hopes to find a way to present my work in one cohesive document (and for cheap).  I found one site which I will share my review at the end of the year. This is only because you must upload everything at once, but it is free.  In the meantime, I am using google presentation to post my notebooks online for students who may have missed a day of notes.  It seems to have no limit and now parents/students have access to the notes from class!  Problem of the absent student is solved. 

Math Tech 3 is a geometry based course with a slower pace. So having a matching activity for the terms guarantees that they will make it to the notes, but as one student pointed out "it feels like a game."  To this I respond by shrugging shoulders nod asking, "Who knew, that definitions in class could be fun?"

 This foldable needs tweaking prior to me posting it. After 15 minutes of trying to keep the copier from shifting my pages, I was able to get the front and back aligned. 

As stated earlier, geometry at a slower pace. Don't worry, I will have them doing proofs, just in a disguised manner.

My posts for Algebra 1 will go up tomorrow. I just could not stand going without posting.
