Postulate vs. Theorem

• Come up with THREE things that you believe strongly                                                                                                                                                                                                                   1. Basketball is fun (Theorem)

Many watch it on tv.

Many people play it.

People dream about making it to the nba.

Because you make money.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        2. Soccer is a great sport (Theorem)

The most watched sport on tv.

People want to become the best. 

They want to make money.

Better life.

           3. People love food (Theorem/Postulate)

People eat it. 

God put it on the earth to eat.  

You need it to live.

Nutrition. 

Keeps you healthy. & It taste really good.

• Create a statement and reason
• Decide if this belief is a theorem or postulate 
• write a response to each

1. The difference between a theorem and postulate is that a theorem can be proven by facts and a postulate is just accepted and cannot be proven. It just is. In my life theorems and postulates just model my actions. Its just what i did. 

Hour of Code

This week's project was really one of the weirdest and most confusing projects I have ever been told to do.  But at the same time, challenging and fun. It was new at first and when i opened the website thought it was the wrong address because it looked like a child's website but I was wrong (unless those children are like super super smart). The thing that was most challenging was trying to remember all of the different patterns and rules that i learned...not even three slides before. I learned overtime how to use reasoning and remember patterns. I enjoyed the game, like winning the game. Not drowning or hitting the walls. But the surprise thing was that, that really helped my understanding of  how Reasoning works.

This Year

Three things I have learned this year is:

1. How to work for the things i want.
2. How to manage  my time wisely. 
3. What commitment really means, not only for school but with extra curricular activities. 

My favorite thing from math is always having something new to learn every day and being held to a standard that never changes, and if one day your "off your game" and mess up, your always forgiven.
One thing that could make this class better is having more of a quiet enviornment.
One thing im always proud of is the work i turn in.

Cut By a Transversal

Parallel Lines                           Non-Parallel Lines:

        Not having parallel lines and splitting them with a transversal would throw off your data. You'd think that something would be true when it's not. You would be able to use the Theorems with regular parallel lines but when they aren't parallel you don't know what formulas to use, if any! Using parallel lines just simplify all your work. While Non-Parallel line make them more difficult than it should be.

Practice A Theorems

                                                                    Theorem 3.1:
All right angles congruent.

                                                                    Theorem 3.2:
 If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect too form four right angles.

                                                                      Theorem 3.3:
If two lines intersect to form adjacent angles, then the lines are perpendicular.

                                                                      Theorem 3.4:
If two sides of adjacent acute angles are perpendicular, then the angles are complementary.

Linear Pair and Vertical Angles

          Linear Pairs are a group of non adjacent angles that equal up to 180 degrees. Linear Pairs lie on the same line and are split (not always in half).

          Vertical Angles are always congruent and opposite of each other. They are share a vertex and can be more or less than 180 degrees. It doesn't matter how many lines split the figure, as long as there are two or more lines intersecting then there are always Vertical Angles.

Law of Syllogism

          The Law of Syllogism is when there are two hypothesis and conclusion statements and you put them together.There is one topic with two separate statements in them, and you combine the hypothesis statement from the first sentence and the conclusion from the second sentence.
           Example:
If I'm 6'2, then I am tall,
if i am tall, then i can see over people.
So the syllogism of those statements are - If I'm 6'2, then i can see over people.
