PreAP Geometry Web Assignment: due August 28, 2017

1. Follow the directions carefully.

2. Use Google Docs to do this assignment.  Where is Google Docs?  Go to your gmail account and click on the drive tab which is across the top of your screen.   Then click on the red create  button on the left and choose document.  After you have typed in all of your entries, use the blue share button at the top right to share your document with me.  You will have to name and save your document before you can share it.  Please use your name as the name of your document.  After you hit save, you will be taken to the share settings page.  At the bottom where it says invite people, type in my email [email protected].  Finish by clicking the blue done below.

3. Go to my PreAP Geometry blog (preapgeometry.wonecks.net) and subscribe.  On your google doc, type the email address that you used so I can verify that you subscribed.

If you do not give me your email address, you will not receive credit for this assignment.

4. At the very bottom of the blog page there is a section called “Why do I have to learn this?”. Follow these directions when you get there:

Choose three of the five links listed under the heading at the bottom of the blog page “Why do I have to learn this?” and write down 5 items of interest from each.

  1. Algebra in the Real World (choose a movie to watch, identify which one you chose, write down 5 items of interest from the video)
  2. Do we really need to learn math?
  3. Where do you need math or Algebra?
  4. Why must I learn math?
  5. Why study math?

Be sure to identify which links you chose with your 5 items of interest.

5. From your 15 items of interest stated in #4, summarize in at least 100 words what you learned.  Did you already have knowledge about what you found?  Was it new information?  What was new?  What was interesting to you?  These are just some of the types of questions you should be thinking of to help you summarize.  Summarize does not mean plagiarize, even though those two words rhyme.  I will not accept plagiarized work.
