Mrs. (Lopez) Hipple's Geometry Class, 9th Grade, Periods 2, 3, and 5

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

HW: handout (side with Pg288 on it) #5-16bc and written ex. #16-21. All on a separate sheet! Thanks.

HW: period 5 only: handout (pg280) #6-15, 27-29. On a separate sheet.

BRING A CALCULATOR TO CLASS EVERYDAY AFTER SPRING BREAK!

TODAY: Continue with lesson 8-1. Review radicals, geometric mean, and analyze similar right triangles! Very important lesson in order to truly understand theorems 8-1 and 8-3 on pages 398-399. We will cover theorem 8-2 tomorrow, Wednesday.

We will maybe get to the Pythagorean theorem by Thursday or Friday. Oh, a history lesson on Pythagoras of Samos is probably a great idea first!

Ok bye!

About Tania Lopez Hipple

I love math!!! By the way, I had a baby May 26, 2010 (William, little Will) and he is doing great! This is my 9th year teaching math and my 2nd year at TPA. I have been teaching geometry at least twice a day since 2004 so it is a math subject I know inside and out!

In 2000, I received my B.S. from UCLA for Applied Math and a minor in French. I love languages. I'm fluent in Spanish too. I was born in El Salvador and have lived in Los Angeles since 1981, when I was 5...are you doing some math yet? I was always good at math, so this definitely helped my interest in the subject. I actually applied to colleges as a math major because I couldn't think of another subject I could dedicate a few years to and not be bored! I had no idea I was going to be a teacher until 2001. I got a job teaching 8th grade algebra and was suddenly thrown into the world of the Los Angeles Unified School District. After 2 years, it hit me like a ton of bricks! I love teaching. I want to teach math forever! So the following year I earned my teaching credential and a masters in Multicultural Education from National University. It's now 2004 and I finally got to teach at the high school level. I worked at Birmingham High school until the day I literally got into my car and drove to Tempe- the Friday of the last day of the Fall semester this year, February 6, 2009.
