11/13 - 12/2: Graph Theory Basics

We're beginning our study of Discrete Mathematics, for the Paper 3 Option topic for Math HL. We're studying Graph Theory.


Wednesday, 11/13 - we explored some common graph problems and defined what graphs are. Here are the problems from class. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is to complete this vocabulary graphic organizer, due Monday, 11/25. You'll have a vocabulary quiz on Monday, 11/25 as well.

Thursday, 11/14 - we used class time to explore common graph theory vocabulary. Here again is the graphic organizer and here are the slides from class. Your HW is to complete this vocabulary graphic organizer, due Monday, 11/25. You'll have a vocabulary quiz on Monday, 11/25 as well.

Friday, 11/15 - we explored how to represent graphs with adjacency tables. Here are the slides from class and here is the worksheet from class. Your HW is to complete this vocabulary graphic organizer, due Monday, 11/25. You'll have a vocabulary quiz on Monday, 11/25 as well.


Monday, 11/18 - we studied walks, paths, trails, cycles, and circuits on graphs. Here are the slides from class and here is the worksheet from class.

Tuesday, 11/19 - we studied Eulerian and semi-Eulerian graphs. Here are the slides from class and here is the worksheet from class. Your HW is on the last page.

Wednesday, 11/20 - we looked at five fundamental ideas about certain special graphs and proved them in our groups. Here are the slides from class and here is the worksheet from class. Your HW is on the last page.

Thursday, 11/21 - we looked at planar graphs and some of their special properties. Here are the slides from class and here is the worksheet from class. Your HW is to complete this vocabulary graphic organizer, due Monday, 11/25. You'll have a vocabulary quiz on Monday, 11/25 as well.

Friday, 11/22 - it's a half day of school for Discipulus Led Conferences, Public Declamation, and the Olympian Games.


Monday, 11/25 - we took a quiz on graph theory vocabulary. We also looked at Hamiltonian paths and Hamiltonian cycles. Here are the slides from class and here is the worksheet from class.

Tuesday, 11/26 - we swapped drafts and did peer review. Here are the slides from class. Here is the personal graphic organizer and peer review template we used to organize our thoughts. Here again is the rubric for the Math Exploration.

Wednesday, 11/27 - we acted on the feedback our peers gave us and also planned out our time for December. Here are the slides from class. Here is the calendar and graphic organizer we used to plan out our time.

Thursday, 11/28 & Friday, 11/29 - It's Thanksgiving. Enjoy your time off from school and with your families and loved ones!


Monday, 12/2 - we worked on IB problems on the topics we've learned so far in graph theory. Here are the problems from class; you should do #2 on the back for homework.
