Coordinate plane intro in class

We will be working with Coordinate planes on Monday, so here's a quick introduction!

Have a great Fradiani Friday!  :)

Coordinate plane

Hey all!  Sorry I haven't posted in a while!  Between snow days and all the crazy weather I've missed some days and haven't been able to stay after school to post like normal!  Sorry!

Today we began working on the coordinate plane, plotting, identifying and working with points (coordinates.)

Tonight's homework is to complete the worksheet on plotting shapes and then finding their areas and perimeters.

Tomorrow we will have an in-class, graded assignment.  It is short and I expect everyone to do really well.  It will be open notebook and you will be able to use a calculator.  You should know how to find the areas and perimeters of squares, rectangles, parallelograms, triangles and basic irregular shapes.

Coordinate Planes and Quiz tomorrow!

Sorry I didn't post yesterday!  Other than my doctors appointment, I just slept for pretty much the whole day!  Here's a lot of information about coordinate planes and what you need to know for the quiz!

Tonight's homework is to do #'s 1-8 on the review sheet and to study for the quiz tomorrow!

Review of Supplementary and Complementary angles:

 Coordinate Planes:

Remember to review the note sheet I gave you on Monday as well!  Answers and info from that one below:

Good luck studying!  I think that everyone is going to do a great job!!!

Irregular figures on a Grid

Good afternoon (or evening) ladies and gentlemen!

Tonight's homework assignment is a bit tricky, so I am including hints on how to break up each of the shapes below.  Good Luck, I hope these help!

If you want an example, we did number one in class today:

I hope this helps!

Also:  Remember that if you want to redo last night's homework, it is due tomorrow!  Here's a new copy of the assignment if you need it!

Have a good night!

Tomorrow's Quiz

What you need to know:

Lines:

Line Segment:  A line segment is a part of a line with two endpoints.  It's part of a line.

Ray:  A ray has a starting point, but then continues forever.  Think of a flashlight beam.

Line:  A line continues forever in both directions.  It has no starting or ending point.

Relationships:

Intersecting:  Lines that cross.

Perpendicular:  Lines that meet at a 90 degree angle.  A right angle is perpendicular.

Parallel:  Two lines that remain the same distance apart at all times and never cross.

Angles:


Acute Angle:  A small angle measuring less than 90 degrees.

Right Angle:  An angle measuring 90 degrees.

Obtuse Angle:  A wide angle measuring more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Straight Angle:  An angle measuring 180 degrees.

Estimating Angles:  Give a general estimate of an angle's measure.  These will be multiple choice on the quiz.

Complementary Angles: Complementary Angles add up to 90 degrees.  Remember, "It's always RIGHT to give a Compliment!"


Supplementary Angles:  Supplementary Angles add up to 180 degrees.  Remember, "Sssssssssssupplemenary is Sssssssssssstraight!"


Coordinate Planes:  Coordinates are written with the X value first and the Y value second.  (X,Y)  Move left to right first and up and down second.

Games to help you practice:

Estimating angles:

Point the telescope at a planet.

Fruit picker, a bit more challenging.

Ninja Angles  This one kicks butt.  Literally!!!

Banana Hunt  


Now chuck those bananas!

More angle games to check out.

Coordinate Planes:

Drive around the desert to find buried treasure.

Identify points on the graph.

Ride your bike around a neighborhood. 

More coordinate plane games to help you practice.

The other topics are easier to do on your own.  For example identifying lines, angles and relationships should be pretty straightforward and finding complements and supplements are just about subtracting.  go over your old notes and previous blog posts to help you!

I hope that these help you study by practicing!!!!

Good Luck tomorrow!  I will see you on Wednesday!

Coordinate Plane

Want to learn how to play Battleship?  Go to the game site here to practice.  It doesn't use the coordinate plane, but will help you learn how to play the game.

Here are some notes from class to remind you about coordinate planes.

If you still need to finish setting up your Battleship Board, use the image below to help guide you.

Have a great weekend and remember to study for the quiz on Tuesday.  It will be on lines, relationships, angles, complementary angles, supplementary angles and graphing on coordinate planes.
