Unit 2: Logic

This unit is about logic.

We will learn about logic and complete two projects:
project 2a: Algebraic Proof Cartoon
project 2b: Logic

We will use the Geometry online textbook on my.hrw.com

We will learn about the following:

inductive reasoning
deductive reasoning
counterexample
conjecture
hypothesis
conclusion
converse
inverse
contrapositive
truth value
algebraic proof
algebraic properties

We will learn about the following:

geometric daisy
field of daisies
hexagon
center
compass
circle
point
equilateral triangle
