You can find the practice problems for today at this link. You are to complete the practice there and submit it by the end of the period. Use your notes from yesterday as a reference for the coordinate rotations.
Apologies for the missing homework assignment yesterday, I put it on the wrong calendar. You can find your current homework assignment on the class calendar.
12.3 Rotations
Geometry
|
Access the 12.3 Rotations material here!
You do need to take notes (the first page) and then you should follow along with the instructions for performing a rotation on a separate sheet. Remember to take care with measuring distances and angles in order to create a congruent image from the preimage. You are to submit your work (not your notes) at the end of the period. You should use approximately half a sheet per rotation. Your assignment for the day is on the class calendar.

Graphing Calculators
Some of you have not yet gotten your calculators for class. You will need one and I will not be able to lend them.
I highly recommend checking Ebay or Amazon, but make sure that the calculator you are buying WORKS!! Many people sell broken calculators for parts so you should ask the vendor if the calculator functions properly. I took the liberty of doing some precursory searches, and here are the links
TI-83 Ebay
TI-84 Ebay
TI-83 Amazon
TI-84 Amazon
On the ebay searches, you should be a cautious buyer. Email the vendor before placing a bid to inquire as to the condition of the calculator. Make sure it works!! Check shipping costs and any type of return policy they might offer if the calculator does not work on arrival. Happy hunting!
TARGET: TI-83 Plus is $84.99; TI-Nspire CX is $129.99; TI-89 Titanium is $129.99; TI-30XIIS is $8.99
