Groovy! I Dig High School Geometry (Full Course) (Ongoing)
This class cover a full High School Geometry curriculum. The summer portion covers a summer preload to prep the student for the school year. Beginning in September the full set of course modules are taught through May. Topics include: circle theorems including Area of Circle, Sphere and Ellipse, Inscribed Circumscribed, Chords, Arcs, Secants, Tangents, Theorems: (Perpendicular Tangent, Perpendicular Diameter, Congruent Chord, Congruent Tangent Segments, Inscribed Angle, Tangent Chord, Exterior Intersection, Chord Product, Secant Secant, Secant Tangent , Non-Central Angles formed by Chords, Exterior Angle formed by Tangents & Secants) - each module is taught independently on a rotating schedule so that learners can jump in at anytime without being lost and get the full course study.

With each weekly session, I will walk students through needed skills for Analytical Geometry-- with topics that cover everything needed for Analytic Geometry full course from rigid transformations, to triangles, to. With each topic, I will first walk through the steps needed to do the work, and then we will work through problems progressing from the easiest to the most difficult. Sessions are highly interactive, as I take time to ensure mastery and understanding along the way. Every problem that learners get stuck on is met with optimism and encouragement. These are opportunities for everyone to learn. Topics will be covered on the following schedule... I teach each unit independently so that if your student is just jumping into geometry, they won't be lost. Learners can rotate through all 26 weeks and use this for course credit in a homeschooling program. If you need certification of completion from a teacher, I'm happy to help for families who have completed the work! Summer 2023 schedule Week 1 : Transformations in the Coordinate Plane - Reflections and Translations Week 2 : Transformations in the Coordinate Plane - Rotations and Dilations Week 3-4 : Circle Theorems Week 5-6 : Proofs and Theorems Week 7 : Defining Geometric Terms Week 8 : Midpoint and Distance Week 9-10: Parallel and Perpendicular Angles Week 11-12: Triangle Congruence
Learning Goals
Note that the Thursday 11AM session continues to meet under the old format of 40 minutes once per week because these students have been on the same schedule since spring of 2021. All other sections will be twice a week for 25 minutes per week.
For the student to increase proficiency, understanding, and speed on the following topics:
1 | Points, Lines, Segments, Rays, Angles, Sets - Points, Lines, Rays, & Line Segments, Planes and Sets,Angles,Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, Supplementary and Complementary Angles, Transversals
2 | Area, Volume, Surface Area: Rectangular Solid, Cylinder, Pyramid, Cone, Prism, Sphere - Area, Volume, & Surface Area of Rectangular Solid, Cylinder, Pyramid, Cone, Prism, and Sphere, and Surface Area of Solids
3 | Transformations, Similarity, & Congruency - transformations, distance, midpoints, triangles, angles, acute, obtuse, complimentary, supplementary, vertical angles, perpendicular, parallel, angle sum theorem, parallel lines cut by a transversal, side-angle-side, similarity, angle-angle-side, side-side-side.
4 | SOH-CAH-TOA Basic Trigonometry - SOH CAH TOA; sine, cosine, tangent, Inverse Trigonometry functions, finding the angles, Solving right triangles, Trig short cuts - triples and complementary angles, Applications in trigonometry- word problems, Reciprocal Trig Functions
5 | Circle Theorem - Area of Circle, Sphere and Ellipse, Inscribed Circumscribed, Chords, Arcs, Secants, Tangents, Theorems: (Perpendicular Tangent, Perpendicular Diameter, Congruent Chord, Congruent Tangent Segments, Inscribed Angle, Tangent Chord, Exterior Intersection, Chord Product, Secant Secant, Secant Tangent , Non-Central Angles formed by Chords, Exterior Angle formed by Tangents & Secants)
Other Details
Parental Guidance
It's a tutoring session. The parents and student determine the content within the constraints of Geometry.
Supply List
Learners should have a graphing calculator (TI-84 or similar), a compass, and a protractor. It's a good idea to always have pencil and paper when taking a math class. Most learners assume it, but as a parent, perhaps remind them because I notice that many times students are having to run in the other room to look for tools to write with and paper to write on. The compass is good to have on hand because I insert into the teaching lots of points where we pull out the compass and draw what we are talking about. Students really enjoy this but it only works if the compass is right there for them to use.

I've been certified in the public schools for teaching math in middle and high schools. I received additional certified training for gifted and talented learners. I taught math for sixteen years and I've been a personal SAT tutor for seven years. My students have typically raised their scores between 100 and 300 points. As a chemical engineer and project management professional in the world of business consulting and information technology consulting, I've completed over five levels of college calculus and applied mathematics and used these math and computing skills throughout my career.
