Pre-Algebra: Unit by Unit: Geometry

A comprehensive Geometry unit for Pre-Algebra students.  This class is designed for students who have already completed one year of middle-level mathematics.  This could also be a great review for students who will be taking high-school level Geometry in the near future.  Students should be comfortable with all operations with positive and negative integers and with algebraic expressions and equations before taking this class.  Students should also know how to graph points in the coordiante plane prior to this course.

Topics Include:

• Naming and Classifying Angles
• Angle Relationships (Vertical, Adjacent, Complementary, and Supplementary Angles)
• Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal (Corresponding, Alternate Interior, Alternate Exterior, and Consecutive Interior Angles)
• Triangle Sum Theorem
• Classifying Triangles
• Pythagorean Theorem
• Pythagorean Theorem Word Problems
• Quadrilaterals 
• Reflections
• Translations
• Rotations
• Dilations

In class we will do several examples together using the "I do, we do, you do" approach.  Students will have required homework to do after sessions to hone skills learned in class.  Answer keys will always be posted for students (or parents) to check their progress.
