Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Intermediate Level
This course is designed to focus on the properties and application of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions.  It includes definitions, transformations, rotations, reflections, and translations, congruence, angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, geometric constructions,  as well as triangle proofs.   Plus, inductive and deductive thinking skills used in problem solving situations, as well as applications to the real world.  Students who complete Geometry A - Part 1 should go on to Geometry A - Part 2 to finish the course.  

Week 1 - Geometric Definitions
Week 2 - Rotations, Reflections, and Translations
Week 3 - Congruence
Week 4 - Algebraic Definitions
Week 5 - Prove Geometric  Theorems
Week 6 - Prove Algebraically
Week 7 - Prove Algebraically
Week 8- Prove Theorems about Triangles
Week 9 - Proofs of Congruent Triangles
Week 10 - Inscribed & Circumscribed Circles
Week 11 - Proofs o Congruent Triangles 
Week 12 - Congruent Parts of Congruent Figures
Week 13 - Rigid Motion of Polygons
Week 14 - Midpoint Theorems
Week 15 - Using Midpoint to Sole Problems
Week 16 - Dilations and Similarity
Week 17 -Prove Theorems Using Similarity
Week 18 - Solving Real Life Situations Using Similarity

Requirements:  Students should expect to have homework almost every day/night in this class.  It is strongly recommended that students set aside at least 20 minutes per day for doing homework.  Homework will be graded for understanding each week. Homework is 10% of overall grade.

Quizzes and tests make up the majority of a students’ course grade.  But remember, if you aren’t practicing the math we are learning by doing your homework and class work on a regular basis,  your scores on these quizzes/tests will more than likely be lower than they would be if you did do your homework every day.   Quizzes are 25% and Tests are 60%of overall grade.

Other possible grade includes attendance and participation.  Attendance/participation is worth 5% of overall grade.
If you ever feel you need more help than what you are receiving during our regularly scheduled classroom time, you should contact me and make arrangements to get extra help through e-mail or scheduling another time.  I am very willing to help you.  You just need to ask!

Grading Scale Description
A      90-100%      Exceeds Expectations; Independent learner; superior work; all work completed on
time at an exceptional level of quality and effort;
B      80-89%      Meets Expectations; Semi-independent learner; above average work; all work
completed on time; did quality work with a few flaws;
C      70-79%      Passing but does not meet some standards; Dependent learner; average work; most
completed on time showing average effort;
D     60-69%      Passing but only meets minimum standards; Dependent learner; average work; most
completed late showing below average effort;
F      <60%         Failing, does not meet minimum standards; Failure; does not meet standards or expectations.

Learning Goals

Students will improve there skills in Geometry using tools, technology, and guided practice.

I am offering this series of classes because I have taught this subject before many times.  I get very excited to see students that want to find out new things as well as use what they have already learned in math.   I believe that all students can learn math if given different approaches.  Everyone does not learn the same way so I offer a variety of methods.  Please see for yourself.
