Now that we have all passed CAHSEE, lets do constructions:
Construct a set of three triangles- 1) acute scalene, 2) obtuse scalene, and 3) right scalene.
Now, duplicate this set using only compass and straight edge. And again so you have three sets of three triangles.
In set 1, construct angle bisectors in each triangle; in set 2, construct medians; and in set 3 construct altitudes.
Next you will need to write a paper about your constructions. Rubric will be passed out in class.

Into quadratics and University of Akron, home of rubber and Zippee.
First follow the instructions for problems 7-15 (odds) on page 247; but then state what a=, what b=, and what c=. Standard form and identifying the codes.
Next move to problems 17-25 (odds) also on page 247. But only graph 19 and 21! for 17-25 use the ZPP and solve each equation. Yes, you will need to practice your factoring.
Please study FOIL, factoring, simplifying, and graphing.
