Today we discovered that if you extend the side of a convex polygon using a straight line it creates an exterior angle that is supplementary to the interior angle (the sum of the angles together equal 180 degrees). We also investigated to see if the exterior angle sum of any convex polygon would equal 360 degrees (if all exterior angles were added together).
HW: pg. 54 #12-15
Please use complete sentences and show your work!
Due:
Assignment
Today students investigated which regular polygons could fit around a single vertex with no overlaps or gaps and why this only works for regular polygons with an interior angle measure that is a factor of 360 degrees. Ask your student which regular polygons do work and why?

**Parent signature on quiz/quiz corrections (if not already turned in)
Upcoming Quiz on Thursday! We will be reviewing in class Wednesday and making corrections to the quiz on Friday during class.
Due:
Assignment
Today we investigated the angle sum of triangles and other regular polygons to see if it can help prove our previous formula for the angle sum of regular polygons to be true. We learned that the angle sum of every kind of triangle is equal to 180 degrees and how to determine the angle sums of other regular polygons by creating triangles within the shape.

Have a safe and fun three-day weekend! Late start Tuesday!
Due:
Assignment
Welcome parents/students! It has been a long process trying to get used to our procedures and expectations for the new math curriculum but we are getting closer each day to showing off our individual skills by working with a group and following a routine.
Today we took our first quiz! Students will have the opportunity to make corrections for every quiz/test to earn back partial credit. Whether the student chooses to make the corrections or not, I ask that every quiz/test be signed by a parent/guardian and sent back to school. This way the grade of their quiz/test, as well as, their decision to make corrections or not is known at home.
Please take the time to ask your student about their quiz, determine if their quiz represents their very best effort and decide whether it would be helpful to make corrections. Students may use their CMP book or notes to help support them for tricky problems. (#3 is extra credit but may be corrected for additional credit!)
Please return signed quizzes and quiz corrections no later than Friday, September 2nd.
Due:
Assignment
Today we practiced measuring interior angles of regular polygons and determined a pattern between the number of sides the polygon had and the total angle sum of the polygon. We will continue to investigate this topic further tomorrow, as well as, determine formulas for the angle sum of regular polygons.
