Buy a light colored ball which is approximately 6 inches to a foot in diameter that you won't mind writing on with permanent marker during class. Be sure that this ball is round and is not an inflatable ball since these don't work well. In addition, if you have masking tape, then bring that to class.

- Practice the folding activities and prepare to present them
to the rest of the class, if called on. Be sure that you can explain
WHY these work. These come from 2 handouts
that I've given you:
-Folding an angle bisector
-Folding the perpendicular bisector of a line segment
-Folding the perpendicular from a given point to a given line
-Folding the perpendicular through a point on a line
-Folding a line parallel to a given line through a given point
-Folding to show that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees
-Folding the intersection of the altitutes of a triangle
-Folding the intersection of the angle bisectors of a triangle
-Folding the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides
of a triangle
-Folding the intersection of the medians of a triangle
-Folding to show that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of
the squares on the two other legs of a right triangle
-Folding to show that (x+y)(x-y)=x2 -y2
