Moving into the book...

We are starting the year with Deductive Geometry - an extension of the work we did using GeoGebra.  This is Chapter 6 of our textbook (we will go back and start at the beginning when this unit if finished).  Deductive geometry is about following a logical flow of reasoning to reach a valid conclusion - much like a lawyer presenting a case to a jury, or you making a case to your parents why you should be allowed to do something they don't want you to do.
