Integrated 2--- Week of October 10-14

Monday, October 10 - No School (Teacher Work Day)

Tuesday, October 11
Today we reviewed a little bit about kites - how would we know from looking at slopes and lengths if a quadrilateral is a kite or not.

Activity: Sort the Graphs, Tables, Descriptions and Diagrams into 6 groups...
 - parallelogram
 - rectangle
 - sqare
 - rhombus
 - trapezoid
 - kite

Homework #9: Do Monday's problems.

Wednesday, October 12 - No School... Testing Day for all students

Thursday, October 13 -
Big Idea: What do perpendicular slopes look like?
Students measured slopes, determined if they were perpendicular segments or not, and then posted results.
CONCLUSION: 
   Parallel slopes have EQUAL VALUES
       examples: 2 & 2,
                      2/4 and 1/2,
                      5/8 & 15/24, etc.
   Perpendicular slopes are OPPOSITE RECIPROCALS
      (kid language: one is positive, one is negative AND the fractional slope is "flip-flopped") ----
       examples: 2/3 & -3/2
                        3 & -1/3
                         -3/4 & 8/6
Homework:  Complete Thursday's problems on HW#9 WS

Friday, October 14
Practice Activity on Slopes --- if you were absent, you'll have to get your class "data" and the worksheet when you return.
