Course Objective and/or Description:
This course is designed for students who have completed Algebra I. The study of geometry includes experiences
and activities that relate to the value of geometry in life. Emphasis is placed on the use of reasoning skills, and two
and three-dimensional modeling to solve problems, both mathematical and real-world. Additional projects may be added throughout the semester as determined by the teacher
Units of Study:
Basics of Geometry; Segments and Angles; Parallel and Perpendicular Lines; Triangle Relationships; Congruent
Triangles; Quadrilaterals; Similarity; Transformations; Right Triangles and Trigonometry; Polygons and Area;
Surface Area and Volume; and Circles.
Expectations
I have high expectations for this class. I know you all can perform to the best of your ability. I believe success is
very important; therefore, I expect this from each student. I look forward to helping you learn as much as you can.
As always, I hope to learn as much from you as you learn from me. I look forward to helping you in any way
possible this semester.
Grading Policy:
Test will consist of Exams/Quiz/Test @ 30%
Project/Participation@ 30% (20/10)
Classwork @ 15%
Homework @ 15%
Notebook @ 10%
Absences/Tardy
You will need to make the work in order to receive credit. It is YOUR responsibility to make up the work. You will receive a 0 if you are caught cheating. Other projects or quizzes will be graded as I deem necessary. All points in this class are weighted
accordingly.
