Mr. Speer's Pre-Calc and Geometry Classes

Geometry
Today we learned about the properties of a rectangle and a rhombus, as well as proving that these figures were parallelograms.

Homework: Part of worksheet.

Pre-Calculus:
Today we continued our discussion from yesterday about deriving Double-Angle formulas, Power-Reducing formulas and Half-Angle formulas. Once we finished deriving these formulas, students were able to work on problems from the worksheet given to them yesterday that related to these formulas.

Homework: Finish the worksheet.
