Mathematics 8: Focus on Understanding
Diagrams for use in Chapter 9: Geometry II
The diagrams provided here have been created to act as companions to the various activities given in the Mathematics 8 textbook. They have been made from the information given in various explorations and questions for Chapter 9. Each diagram was originally created using The Geometer's Sketchpad and then copied into a Microsoft Word document. Files in both formats are listed below.
Please Note:
Files for Unit 9.3 are currently provided in two formats also. They are provided as .jpg images, suitable for printing.
Google Sketchup was used to create these 3D shapes, and files ending in .skp cannot be opened without that software installed. This is free software - click here to go to the download site. You will need to consult with your Board Technology Coordinator about having this software installed on computers in your school.

For your convenience, a .zip file has been created for each format. Downloading and expanding the .zip file will provide you with a folder containing all the documents listed for that format. Click HERE to go down the list to the links for the .zip files. A table of contents with links to the documents (opens in a web browser) is included in the word_files.zip file.
