Today's List: Open Chapter 5 Project GSP. Click on page 3, Perpendicular Bisector.
- Put a point on the perpendicular bisector.
- Draw a segment from this new point to the endpoint of the segment.
- Do the same to the other endpoint.
- Measure the two new segments.
- Measure the angle at the midpoint of the segment.
- Write a conjecture on your page about the distances from a point on the perpendicular bisector to the endpoints.
Thursday:
Today's List: Open yesterday's GSP file, Ch 5 Project.
- On the page named Triangle - Midsegment, measure the three sides of the "big" triangle and also the three sides of the "small" triangle.
- Match up (move around) the measurements so that the parallel pairs of sides are listed together.
- Use a text box to write a statement about each pair of parallel sides.
- Name one of the sides of the "small" triangle as Midsegment, by double clicking it with the text tool.
HW: pg. 300 #3-11, 24-27
Wednesday:
Today's List:
- In GSP, create one file named: Chapter 5 Project. Make the following pages and do what is described on each page.
- Angle Bisector: Create an angle and then construct the angle bisector.
- Perpendicular Line: Construct a line perpendicular to a segment through a point NOT on the line.
- Perpendicular Bisector: Construct a line perpendicular to a segment through its midpoint (perpendicular bisector).
- Triangle - Midsegment: Create a triangle with a midpoint on each side of the triangle.
- Use segments to connect the three midpoints (should create another triangle on the inside.)
- Triangle - Median: Create a triangle with a midpoint on each side of the triangle.
- Use segments to connect each vertex to the opposite midpoint (3 total).
No School
