On Monday, April 28, and Tuesday, April 29th, you will be in the computer lab working in your groups (except Melanie and Amaleen, who will be working individually). The groups are listed below:
1. Area and perimeter of circles, squares, and rectangles (Melanie)
2. Area and perimeter of triangles, parallelograms, and rhombuses (Amaleen)
3. Similar Triangles (Dionelis and Hayley)
4. Different types of triangles (isosceles, equilateral, scalene, obtuse, acute, and right) (Rosalba and Cashel)
5. Angle bisector and midpoint (Trevion, Marcus, and Jamej)
6. Adjacent and vertical angles (Xavier and Brandon)
7. Supplementary and complimentary angles (Oliver and Stephanie)
8. Parallel lines and the angles formed by the transversal (How do you know when two lines are parallel? Be sure to also discuss what the transversal is.) (Diamond and Abenai)
Directions for Monday:
1. Sit next to your group members
2. Look at each other's work that you did over the break
3. Write in Microsoft Word a final draft which should contain the following: introductory paragraph (introducing your topic), 4 examples that you all have solved, 8 problems that you haven't solved, and a conclusion.
IMPORTANT: You are creating ONE DOCUMENT as a group, and this document should include work from each partner and/or new work that you all created together!!!
4. Save the document in a place where you can easily locate it or e-mail it to yourself.
Directions for Tuesday:
Today you will make the final revisions to the work you did on Monday. Print out a copy of the final draft (making sure all of your names are on it) because you will have to hand it into me on Wednesday. When you are done making the final revisions and have printed it out, you will then post your work onto the blog. To get into the blog you must got to http://www.blogger.com/start and enter your username and password. Only one person from the group needs to log in, meaning you only have to post your work one time under one person's name.
If you want to post an equation that you made in Equation Editor, a diagram, or a table, follow the following instructions:
1. Create the equation, diagram, or table in Microsoft Word
2. Open Microsoft Paint
3. Copy the equation, diagram, or table from Word to Paint
4. Adjust the size of the canvas in Paint by manually dragging the edges of the canvas or by going to Image at the top of the screen then selecting Attributes
5. Save the image you have created
6. Insert the image into the blog (see below) - after you insert the image, you might have to manually drag it to the place where you want it
You will be graded on three products:
1. Your journal entry2. Your word document (make sure you print it out so you can hand it into me on Wednesday)
3. Your blog posting
Good luck, and I'll see you all on Wednesday.
Mr. Glogower
