Learning Target #1

This learning target is that I can apply detours in proofs. This example from notes helps me to understand this concept because it shows exactly how to use them. You just have to prove triangles congruent before you can prove the whole thing.

Learning Target #2

This learning target says that I can apply the midpoint formula. This example from notes helps me understand the midpoint formula because it clearly shows what the formula is, and exactly when and how to use it.

Learning Target #3

This learning target is that I can organize the information in, and draw diagrams for, problems presented in words. Number 11 helps me understand this concept because it is a certain problem where one has to take a bunch of words and turn it into a proof with givens and something that needs to be proven. I understand this concept by remembering that whatever comes before the verb in the given selection, is the given. Whatever comes after the verb is what you have to prove.

Learning Target #4

This learning target states that I can apply one way of proving that two angles are right angles. This helps me understand how to prove right angles becyase is shows that one way to do that is to use the reason that if angles are supplementary and congruent, then the angles are right angles.

Learning Target #5

This learning target is that I can recognize the relationship between equidistance and perpendicular bisectors.This shows me how to recognize the relationship between the two because in the proof, it clearly shows how to relate the two together.

Learning Target #6

This says that I can recognize planes. This helps me recognize planes as figures that have lines and points that make them up. This plane can be labeled a few different ways and helps me understand what a plane is exactly and how a plane is seen.

Learning Target #7

Learning Target 7 says that I can recognize transversals. This helps me recognize that transversals are the lines that cross over different lines. For instance, lines a and b have the transversals of d and c.

Learning Target #8

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:50:29 UTC

This learning target says that I can identify pairs of angles formed by a transversal. This helps me with this concept because it shows what angles make up a transversal and what kinds of angles they are.

Learning Target #9

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:50:40 UTC

This learning target is that I understand the concept of slope. In this example from homework, I am able to better understand the concept of slope because it shows me that parallel lines have the same slope and perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. It also shows me how to find the slope of a line.

Learning Target #10

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:50:51 UTC

This learning target is that I can relate the slope of a line to its orientation in the coordinate plane. This helps me understand this concept because it clearly shows how different slopes appear on a coordinate plane.

Learning Target #11

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:50:57 UTC

This says that I can recognize the relationships between the slopes of parallel lines and perpendicular lines. This helps me understand this concept because it shows how parallel lines have the same slope and perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

Learning Target #12

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:51:06 UTC

This says that I can copy a segment and an angle with a compass and a straight edge and geogebra. This helps me understand how to copy an angle and a segment because in order to copy them I had to use the tools on geogebra to help me do that. I understand how to do this concept because I attempted it until I succeeded with the help of geogebra.

Learning Target #13

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:51:10 UTC

This learning target states that I can bisect an angle using a compass, a straight edge, and geogebra.

Learning Target #14

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:51:25 UTC

This one says that I can copy a triangle using a compass, a straight edge, and geogebra.

Learning Target #15

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:51:34 UTC

This learning target says that I can construct a perpendicular bisector. This helps me understand how to make a perpendicular bisector because it shows that I can successfully make one on geogebra. It also helps me understand it because it clearly shows what exactly a perpendicular bisector is.

Learning Target #16

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:51:52 UTC

This learning target says that I can construct a line perpendicular to a line a a given point on a line.

Learning Target #17

atodde303 — 2013-10-27 22:52:01 UTC

This last learning target says that I can construct a line perpendicular to a given line from a point not on the line.
