All this week I will be determining what your grade will be for the third marking period. By Friday, I want to talk to each student individually and assess where you are at with your ability to use geobebra, and your knowledge of chapter 9. Questions that I am likely to ask you during our interview are:

1. What is the Pythagorean Theorem? Why do we know it is true? Look at this video.
2. Any question on page 465. Look at this video
3. Is a 3-4-5 triangle a right triangle? How about a 4-5-6? Look at question 1 through 6 on page 470. Look at this video.
4. Can you simplify the square root of 20? Look at question 1-20 page 474. Look at this video.
Here is another video about simplification of square roots.
5. What can you say about a 30-60-90 Triangle? How about a 45-45-90 Triangle? Look at question 1-6 on page 477. Listen to Mr. Grow, Aaron and Michael explain a 30-60-90.

6. Can you find the distance between two point, say (4,5) and (-3,1)? Look at question 1-6 on page 489.
7. Can you find the equation of a circle with center at (-3,5) with radius of 4? Do this with geogabra. Practice with question 7-11 on page 489.
8. If you can do all those, extra credit will be given for correct solutions to any problem from 11 to 29 on page 497 to 498.

Work hard! Stay focused! It is crunch time!
