52 live meetings
39 in-class hoursHomework
2-4 hours per week. An assignment will accompany each lesson. As homework is considered practice, I also include an answer key so students can confirm answers.Assessment
There will be an optional assessment offered at the end of each unit. Students must complete all assessments to be eligible for a grade.Grading
Upon request. Students must complete all asessments to be eligible for a grade.Class Experience

I believe Geometry must be taught in an interactive manner. The overall goal of Geometry is to build deductive reasoning and logic and in order to achieve this the student needs to be challenged to build mathematical arguments to support their work. My class is structured to do this. I will provide formatted notes and homework for each lesson. The students should be prepared with basic construction tools, ruler, compass and protractor and paper for constructions for each class. I am available outside of the scheduled class time to address student questions. This is my intended syllabus for the entire course. Please understand that I will adjust my pace to compliment each cohort of students. Weeks will coordinate with the start date of the class. Weeks One and Two – Foundations of Geometry, Week 1 : Euclidean and Construction Tools, -Define, measure and construct points, lines, planes, and angles Week 2 : Coordinate and Transformation Tools- Geometric formulas and transformations in the coordinate plane. Week Three – Geometric Reasoning Week 4: Inductive and Deductive Reasoning - Using inductive reasoning to make conjectures and deductive reasoning to verify conjectures, conditional statements. Week 5; Mathematical Proof - Algebraic, geometric and flowchart proof; intro to Symbolic Logic Week 6 – Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Week 7 – Triangle Congruence Week 8– Properties and Attributes of Triangles Week9 – Polygons and Quadrilaterals Week 10 – Similarity Week 11 – Right Triangles and Trigonometry Week 12 – Transformational Geometry Week 13 - Circles
Learning Goals
The students will:
- use geometry definitions, thereoms and postulates to build mathematical arguements
- use constructions to support definitions, postulates and theorems
- use lines, polygons and circles as structures to build deductive reasoning
Other Details
Pre-Requisites
Students must have mastered pre-algebra skills, specifically solving equations and writing linear equations.
