This is a small group class, we will meet live once a week, however there will be other content that the student will be responsible for watching, doing or reading. This will ensure that the student will be able to ask questions. Students are encouraged to apply concepts learned to their everyday life by either creating their own examples with their household or by looking at an example provided. 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 to explore many concepts so that students can have a hands-on experience as well as more traditional practice. 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 Geometry Semester 2, this will prepare you to continue with Algebra 2 and Precalculus. As a teacher, I feel that each student's learning is important. Week 1: Introduction to Geometry: vocabulary, nets and measurements Week 2: Angle properties and Polygons Week 3: Midpoint and distance Formulas, Area and Perimeter, Compass constructions Week 4: Logic and reasoning, Intro to proofs Week 5: Proofs and Logic, Introduction to Parallel Lines and Transversals Week 6: Proofs using properties of parallel lines, transversals and angles Week 7: Properties of slopes and perpendicular lines Week 8: Congruent Shapes and Triangles Week 9: Triangles: Midsegment and Bisectors, Points of Congruency Week 10: Triangle Inequalities Theorems and Polygons Week 11: Quadrilaterals Week 12: Quadrilaterals Week 13: Coordinate Geometry Week 14: Introduction to Similarity

Utah Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
2 Degrees
Master's Degree in Mathematics from Utah State University
Bachelor's Degree from Brigham Young University
I have a Masters of Mathematics and am a licensed secondary math and financial literacy teacher. I also teach a math class for a local university. I love the exploration of math and plan to explore it in all of my classes. I also have a love of real world application and will also be teaching financial literacy courses.
My semester long classes will include plenty of exploration but will also be courses that will allow students to understand and practice concepts. As far as core classes go I teach Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus and Financial Literacy.
I have taught in ages 12 to 18 in a traditional classroom. I have also spent time volunteering and substituting in elementary math classes. I have worked with many students that have math anxiety and look forward to working with your students.
Feel free to request classes. I teach both integrated math as well as algebra, geometry, trignometry and statistics as well as financial literacy. I have received certification through NGPF to teach financial literacy.Reviews
