12 and up

Room:

Description:

This course is designed to be a complete year of high school Geometry.  Topics will include: lines, planes, angles and their relationships; three-dimensional objects, their volume and surface area; inductive and deductive reasoning and proofs; intro to Trigonometry.  Some Algebra I review will be built into the course.

To cover a full year’s worth of material in 32 meetings will require a minimum 4-5 hours per week at home as we will be moving through the material at a brisk pace.  Each week students will be responsible for completing and checking their own homework, reaching out for help if needed and completing a weekly quiz on Teams.  There will be established standing office hours video meeting on Teams on Friday at noon to have a set spot to respond to questions. The teacher is also readily available by Teams Chat to answer questions. 

Tests will be completed in class, there will be some talk about test taking skills, as this is its own necessary life skill.
