Geometry Quarter 2

Please message me if you would like a different time.  As I'm setting up for the fall, I would like parent input.

Before taking this course, students should be confident working with positive and negative numbers and solving multi-step equations.  Algebra 1 is generally the prerequisite for geometry.  This class is set up to help the student achieve success in high school math and is a high school geometry course.  Students should look at the description of Geometry Quarter 1 and have confidence in those topics.

Week 1:  Congruent Triangles
Week 2:  Midsegment and bisectors
Week 3:  Triangle Inequalities
Week 4: Quadrilaterals
Week 5: Quadrilaterals
Week 6: Coordinate Geometry
Week 7: Coordinate Geometry
Week 8: Introduction to similarity

Material will be presented through exploring concepts and discovering relationships between mathematical concepts.  There will be examples, practice and exploration.  Students will be given an example or exploration activity, then will work with the instructor to understand problems then they will solve problems on their own.   We will use Desmos and Geogebra to explore many concepts so that students can have a hands-on experience as well as more traditional practice.

The first ten minutes of every class will be set aside to address homework problems.  Homework will be required but answer keys will be posted.  Assessments will be used to track student progress.  Please request a letter grade if required.  Students should expect to spend 2 to 4 hours a week outside of class on homework.
