Euclid's Elements/Parent Night (4/28/2016)

This week we did a document study of Euclid's Elements.  After going over the definitions, we spent some time not only studying the postulates, but drawing our own. Here is the website that breaks down the postulates step by step: http://math.furman.edu/~jpoole/euclidselements/eubk1/props.htm#proposition  It would be a great practice for you to go through the postulates in the pyramid guide as well as the others from Euclid's book in order to better understand geometry and practice logical thinking skills.

Also we were able to have parent night.  Thanks everyone for working hard on your projects and making a display to show all that hard work off!
