Geometry Quarter 4 Flex Class

Because of the nature of this class, I can provide different start dates.  Please reach out if you would like a different start date.

This is a flex class.  That means that there are no live classes but there will be teacher interaction.   Each week, I will post the week’s lessons and assignments in the form of videos depending on the concepts.   Students will submit assignments and participate in a weekly chat on the Outschool platform.  I will get to know you as a student through your work and your messages to me as well as your participation in our online discussions.    This is an additional form of interaction that students can participate in. 

The purpose of teaching geometry in this form is to allow learners more flexibility in their schedule, the subject matter will be as rigorous as other geometry classes.  I will also be available to meet by request. 

Before taking this course, students should have taken an Algebra 1 course or it’s equivalent. 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.  

Units covered in this course:
Week 1: Circles area and arcs
Week 2: Cross Sections, Surface Area
Week 3: Surface Area and Volume
Week 4: Surface Area and Volume
Week 5 Circles: Tangent lines, chords and arcs
Week 6: Circles on the Coordinate plane
Week 7:  Circles

This course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions.  It includes the study of transformations and right triangle trigonometry.  Inductive and deductive thinking skills are used in problem solving situations, and applications to the real world are stressed.  It also emphasizes writing proofs to prove properties of geometric figures.   After taking this class, you should plan on taking  Algebra 2.   At the end of each week, it is up to the learner to determine if they need additional help.  As a teacher, I feel that each student's learning is important.
