Mar. 3rd, 2006 04:17 pmI managed to get one of the geometry problems before class! Go me!
Had an interesting time in Geom. Teacher spent more time on the homework and made sure everyone understand. Not a big surprise because she was being observed. XD She did run into problems with her last proof though. We got all tangled up.
For the next paragraph a bit of background is needed. Postulates are things that are assumed in geometry and not proved. Theorems are things that are proved.
Teacher tells us that we’ll be working with the congruence postulates. Linn: ???? *is confused then realizes those are AAS, SAS ect. The triangle congruence stuff* Those are THEOREMS. We’ve BEEN proving them in geometry!
Teacher: But most textbooks have postulates because you can’t prove it at that level.
Linn: Then they’re wrong. They’re theorems. And you don’t have to prove something to use it. (goes on and on with back up from Jessie) He came around eventually. : )
So class wasn’t too bad. ^_^ Get to take Ann to Anime club tonight – Dad has ordered both of us to go. He’s great. – ANNNNNNND….
MY MOM IS HER SCHOOL’S TEACHER OF THE YEAR!!!!!
I'll finish those memes tomorrow or later tonight. ^_^
