Course Information Geometry Summer Prep is an online live video class to help students prepare for Geometry in the fall. All students are welcome. Format Students will learn and practice the foundational math skills in an "I do. We do. You do" Model. First, the course will start with a traditional lecture on mathematical topics, with examples and thorough explanations. I teach the concepts using both traditional methods and online visual demonstrations using Desmos. Then, we will complete practice problems together. Finally, students will have the opportunity to continue practicing and complete an exit ticket for understanding. Additional practice opportunities will be provided if students would like to hone their skills outside of class.
Learning Goals
Experiment with transformations in the plane. [Congruence]Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions. [Build on rigid motions as a familiar starting point for development of concept of geometric proof.]
