Friday 9/18/09

HW: Handout.

I apologize to Alex W.--- He was right!!!! (about the outer edges of the puzzle)

Instructions: Cut out the 9 rectangles and glue them back together such that each side statement matches with its adjacent side statement. The sides that end up as part of an outer edge will have a corresponding statement that is at its opposite side (of the BIG rectangle). It's your job to figure it out. Oh, the lovely figures and happy face in the middle of each rectangle are for decoration!

Today we took a proof quiz. You were allowed to use the handout with the theorems/postulates and 13 definitions. Some of you have NOT written the definitions on the sheet with the top 13 vocabulary words... so you couldn't use it on the quiz. How unfortunate. Do it now!

It is the last day to turn in your attempt at PIG #1. The angles in the problem are complementary. You should have explained why. I will post a detailed answer later...

I will post a new PIG this weekend.

Thanks, have a nice weekend. See you at the football game!

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.
