1. Class Notes
Ch. 2 Introduction to Logical Reasoning, Algebraic and Geometric Proofs, and Angle Conjectures Ch. 4 Triangle Conjectures

2. Warm Up Write a step-by-step solution for the linear equation, by writing these equations in order. 3x = 17 3x = 24 3x - 7 = 17 3(x - 4) + 5 = 17 x = 8

3. Deductive Reasoning – Coming up with a conclusion by logical steps, using evidence or facts to support the argument. Algebraic Proof – Applying deductive reasoning to solving equations, using Algebraic Properties to justify each step.

4. Solve this equation for a. 2(a +1) = -6

5. Algebraic Properties of Equality
Addition Property of Equality If a = b, then a + c = b + c. Subtraction Property of Equality If a = b, then a - c = b - c. Multiplication Property of Equality If a = b, then ac = bc. Division Property of Equality If a = b and c ≠ 0, then _a_ = _b_ . c c

6. Algebraic Properties of Equality
Reflexive Property of Equality a = a Symmetric Property of Equality If a = b, then b = a. Transitive Property of Equality If a = b and b = c, then a = c. Substitution Property of Equality If a = b, then b can be substituted for a in any expression.

7. Properties of Arithmetic
The associative property In addition and multiplication, terms may be arbitrarily associated with each other through the use of parentheses: a + ( b + c ) = (a + b ) + c a(bc) = (ab)c The commutative property In addition and multiplication, terms may be arbitrarily interchanged, or commutated: ab = ba a + b = b + a The distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac

15. DoNow (10 min) work with partner
1. Draw three angles: BAD, DAC, and CAB. mBAD = 120° mDAC = 158° mCAB = 92° 2. Label them as acute, right, or obtuse. 3. Bisect each angle with a compass & measure the newly formed ‘daughter’ angles. 4. Complete the conjecture as a full sentence. “If an obtuse angle is bisected, then the two newly formed congruent angles are _________________.”

16. Geometric Proofs
Conjecture – An educated guess in geometry. Like a hypothesis in science. Discovered inductively by observing a pattern.
Postulate – Definitions or facts we assume are true without proof. The building blocks for proving a conjecture.
Theorem – A proven conjecture supported by step-by-step deductive logic. Each statement is supported with a fact or postulate.

17. Geometric Proof
Conjecture: If an obtuse angle is bisected, then the two newly formed congruent angles are acute. 1) Every angle measure is less than 180°. 2) If m is the measure of an obtuse angle, then m < 180°. 3) When you bisect an angle, the two newly formed angles each measure half of the original angle, or m. 4) If m < 180°, then m < (180), so < 90°. The two angles are each less than 90°, so they are acute.

19. Make a Conjecture & Prove It

21. Linear Pair Conjecture
A Pair of Linear Angles are:
Linear Pair Conjecture
If two angles are linear (share vertex & middle side, outside rays form a line), then they are _________ .

22. Linear Pair Conjecture
A Pair of Linear Angles are Supplementary & Adjacent:
Linear Pair Conjecture
If two angles are linear, then they are supplementary (add to 180o). (Write in notes.)

23. Vertical Angle Conjecture
If two angles are vertical (opposite across line intersection, share only a vertex), then they are _________ .

24. Vertical Angle Conjecture
If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent . (Write this in notes.)

25. Proof of Vertical Angles Conjecture

26. Get out HW for check. Do Now (10 min):
Using a compass and straight edge, draw two parallel lines. Make them big and well-separated.
Draw three lines crossing these parallel lines at different angles. These are called transversals.
Measure and label all the angles formed in the picture (at least 24 of ‘em!)
Write conjectures based on the patterns you see.

27. Special Angle Conjectures (in notes)
Corresponding Angle Conjecture CA’s are congruent.
Alternate Interior Angle Conjecture
AIA’s are congruent.
Alternate Exterior Angle Conjecture
AEA’s are congruent.

28. Special Angle Conjectures (in notes)
These three conjectures are only true when a transversal crosses two parallel lines.
Corresponding Angle Conjecture
Alternate Interior Angle Conjecture
Alternate Exterior Angle Conjecture
“Exterior” = outside parallels
“Interior” = between parallels
“Alternate” = both sides of transversal
“Concurrent” = same side of transversal

35. Exterior Angle Sum Conjecture
If a shape is a triangle, then its exterior angles sum to 360o.

36. Third Angle Conjecture
If two different triangles have the same measures of two angles, then their third angles are also the same.

37. Isosceles Triangle Conjecture
If a triangle is isosceles, then two of its angles are congruent.

38. Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Conjecture
If a triangle has two congruent interior angles, then it is isosceles.

39. Using 5 Triangle Conjectures
In class:
As a group: p. 202 # 9.
With partners: pp # 2-8

40. Tues 12/3
Between last night’s HW and today’s in-class partner practice, you should have answered:
Ch # 1 - 9
Ch # 1 – 9
You also have HW due tomorrow:
Ch 4 Review #
Also write down conjectures from sections in your notes. You may use notes on Friday’s test. Only useful if complete and organized.

41. Wed 12/4
Because we’ve seen so many conjectures, you may use your math notebook on Friday’s test. The more organized and complete it is, the more useful.
Goals for today: Review triangle congruence ‘shortcuts’. Four of ‘em.
Use all conjectures to prove examples on handouts & HW. Flowchart and two-column proofs.
Note: Proofs are an A level topic on the test.

42. Friday 12/6 Have math notebook and several pencils out.
May use math notes on this assessment of your understanding. You may not use anything else.
I will check HW while you take this assessment.
This assessment will go in the grade book as a quiz. We will take another assessment on Angles, Triangles and Proofs next Friday. The better of two grades will count as your unit test. So if you do well today, it counts as a test. If not, just a quiz.  Same in other geometry classes.
We will have new partners on Monday.

43. Tuesday 12/10
Practice Worksheet Day 3 Worksheets Show first correct to get next. Save these and your corrected test: ticket to retake test on Thursday. Work with table partner.

44. Thursday 12/12
Have out your corrected test and practice handouts on table for check. These are your tickets to a retake.
Will take best of two grades for unit test.
No cell phones.
You may use a calculator.
