Logic!

Okay,  Here are my foldables for my unit over Logic.  We also do a lot of activities with Logic as well.
Check out:
1.  Modeling Having Kittens from map.mathshell.com
2.  Read the play A Usual Day at Unusual School.  (google it)
3.  We watched a video over whales and talked about facts and inferences
4.  Watch you tube clips over the books If You Give a Mouse a Cookie or If You Give a Moose a Pancake to discuss law of syllogism  (I stole this from my fellow Geometry teacher Mr. John Mitchell)









































Angle Pair Relationships

I use this foldable for Angle Pair Relationships.  I got this foldable from Teachers Pay Teachers.  I would not recommend using red.  It was too dark for some students to see their pencil markings.

Classifying Angles

Here are the notes for Classifying Angles.







I use patty paper to talk about Angle Bisectors.  We glue just the top part into the notebook so the students can still fold on the bisector.  Protractor Postulate is added at the bottom printed on a sticky note.



Last page is the Angle Addition Postulate.  I printed this one on a sticky note as well.

Midpoint Formula and Distance Formula

Here are the note pages for the Midpoint Formula and Distance Formula.  I have the formulas printed on the sticky notes, and I have the graphs printed.  I have the kids cut out the graphs as a whole and glue them in their notes.  I often do the cutting and gluing at the very beginning of class as a bell ringer activity.


Segments and Congruence

As you will see, I love using post it notes for postulates and theorems.  Create a table in Word, set the table to be 3 inches wide and 3 inches tall, set the page margins to 0.5" top and bottom.  That will let you have 3 rows of two.  Put the sticky notes on the page and run through your printer (not the copy machine!)  My teacher's aide puts the sticky notes on for me.


Here are the notes for Segments and Congruence.  I try to use different colors so the postulate and theorems really stand out!


Foundations of Geometry

Here we are at the first of school!  I am always excited to start the year, and I love starting the interactive notebooks for Geometry!  Here are the pages for the Foundations of Geometry!

Digital Age

Hello Everyone!  I am trying to enter the Digital Age.  So, let's try having a blog!  My goal is to use this for school to help students and parents up to date in my class.  We will see if I can figure this out!  Any suggestions are welcome, because I am so new at this!  I love interactive notebooks, so I will keep those updated on here as well!
