After another test day we take our knowledge of Linear Relationships and by the end of the week use this knowledge to revisit the Pythagorean Theorem. Prior to that will go over the concepts of Squares and Square Roots. Our discussion of Squares will center on area, and will involve the squares right under your feet. Rational or Irrational will be our big question for Square Roots. Once we got that down our trip to ancient Greece for our visit with Pythagoras should end being more fun than work.
Please remember to submit all assignments timely to ensure the highest level of credit.
