Agenda:
Do- Now: Applying Triangle Angle Sum Theorem (10 minutes)
Sage N Scribe: Standard 3 (15 minutes)
Rally Robin for Proofs: You have 3 minutes of think time to name all of
the postulates, theorems and definitions that can be used in proofs.
Then, you and a partner have 2 minutes to Rally Robin back and forth
and share as many as you can. The team with the largest number will
earn McGrath Money. (5 minutes)
