Complementary and Supplementary Angles

Hello friends!

Today seemed to go really well as we learned about complementary and supplementary angles.  Take a look at these notes from class:


It's always right to give a compliment...


SSSSSSSSSupplementary is SSSSSSSStraight


 



Remember to use what you know about complementary and supplementary angles to figure out each of the measurements in the diagram on the back back BEFORE attempting the problems on that page.


Keep up the hard work!  You are doing a great job!!!

Lines, relationships and angles...

We went over a lot today, but I think that most of it is review for you.  Info below!

Parallel lines are lines that never intersect or cross one another.

Perpendicular lines cross each other or intersect at right angles.

Protractor:  Use this to help you identify approximate measures!


Tonight's homework is to complete both the line worksheet and the angle worksheet.  It seems like a lot, but I promise you it's not too bad!  Keep up the good work!

Paint programs:

Psykopaint

Sumo Paint

And some of the photo editing resources that I enjoy...

A sample picture that I edited (rather crazily) in Picnik

Same picture, different editing.

This makes the picture look like a miniature...  Same pic again.

Enjoy!  Go get creative!  Send me links to your pictures and I will post them on the blog!

-Miss K  :)



Okay... Here's the study guide...

In case you decide to get started, you can link to the study guide HERE and print it out.  If you didn't see my post on Friday, I changed my mind and allowed you to wait on starting the study guide.  I will distribute copies to everyone tomorrow, but wanted to make it available for those of you that would like to get started!

Remember, go to the Google Doc link above and print out the document.  You may also save the document and email your answers to me at school!  See you tomorrow!  :)

What a wonderful world!

Go, go Pogo

Postal Delivery  Using values in your algebra problems- Fun sounds!

Equation Match  Find two equations in which the variables are the same value!

Solve for X  Pretty challenging!  You've got to think quick!
