Activity 9 (continued)
In your group agree on definitions and properties from the previous page. You can
write what you all agree on here, or on the blank sheets in the Workbook section.
Try to explain why the properties you noticed are the way they are.
We will discuss your definitions, properties and explanations as a class.
After the class discussion record the agreed upon definitions in your Notebook,
under Definitions. Record properties everyone agrees about, but which no one can
explain, under Postulates. Record properties which have been explained under
Theorems.
