Triangle Test Thursday

Students need to review notes and practice problems from their journal or papers we have completed in class.
Classify types of triangles by Angles and Sides
Find a missing angle: <a+<b+<c=180 degrees
Angle Side relationships= largest angle opposite largest side; smallest angle opposite smallest side
Three lengths make a triangle:
a+b>c
b+c>a
c+a>b
Area of a triangle: A=1/2 BH

Parent/Student Friendly 6th Teks-What students need to be able to do :)

What students need to be able to do at the end of 6th Grade

Happy Friday! End of the Six Weeks- Monday starts 3rd six weeks!

Area of Triangles , Oh my!!
Area=1/2 base*height
We practiced together in class and this page will go in their journal as an example page.
They have 4 steps:
Write the formula
plug in numbers for the variables (letters)
operate/solve
write the answer with units labeled and squared

Happy Verteran's Day

The Daily Math Page is due tomorrow, complete and for a grade.
The 6/7 class was able to play a game to determine if 3 lengths make a triangle.

More Triangles

Angle & Sides-Triangles
Largest angle is always opposite to the longest side.
Smallest angle is always opposite to the shortest side.

Triangle Inequality Theroem
a+b>c
a+c>b
b+c>a
For any triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

Test Thursday-get review signed!!

Students need to have their review for the test  Thursday signed and should study anything they had trouble answering.

Classifying triangles by sides and angles. Please  see the video above.
To find the missing angle in a Triangle:
add the angles you know and subtract that sum from 180.
