Jumpstart Geometry will benefit learners who plan to take Geometry in the fall, learners who have finished Algebra I, or learners who are currently struggling with the basics of Geometry. 

Whether your learner is just beginning Geometry or just needs a refresher, future success depends on fully understanding the basics.  This course covers the basics of Geometry.

The students will learn to:
Identify, name, and draw points, lines, segments, rays, and planes. 
Apply basic facts about points, lines, and planes.   
Find length and midpoint of a segment.  
Use the Segment Addition Postulate.  
Define and apply concepts of congruent, midpoint, and bisects.
Name, classify, and measure angles.  
Find angle measures using the Angle Addition Postulate.  
Find angle measures using the Definition of Angle Bisector.
Identify adjacent, vertical, complementary, supplementary and linear pairs of angles.  
Find the measures of pairs of angles using arithmetic and algebraic methods.
Calculate or find expressions for the perimeter and area of rectangles, squares, and triangles.  
Calculate or find the expressions for circumference and area of a circle.  
Solve problems involving area and perimeter using algebraic methods.
Develop and apply the formula to find the midpoint between two points in the coordinate plane.  
Use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.  
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.G.B.5
Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.G.B.8
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system.

Guided notes will be provided.  Practice problems will be assigned after each session.  You will need to have access to a printer in order to print the guided notes and homework files. I can provide an optional assessment at the end of the course.

*** If you have a protractor, please bring it to the third class. ***
