Geometry is the study of the structure of mathematics and how it applies to two and three dimensional shapes and objects . The
attention of this course is on methods of solving problems in the Real Number System. The student will develop skill in the
application of algebraic concepts on linear, quadratic equations.

`Identify and model points lines and planes.
Measure segments and determine accuracy of measurements.
Calculate distance and find the midpoint between point.
Measure and classify angles.
Identify polygons and find their perimeters.
Make conjectures and determine whether it is true or false.
Use deductive reasoning.
Verify algebraic and geometric conjectures.
Write proofs involving segments, angles, triangles (SSS,SAS.ASA, AAS,HL,HA,LL, or LA), intersections, bisected angles and
segments, altitudes, medians, angle bisectors, vertical angles, mathematical identities, similarity (AA, or SSS), Hinge Theroem, slope
of a line, parallel, perpendicular, center of circles, and chords, and arcs.

Identify and use perpendicular bisectors.
Apply properties of inequalities relating angle size to the size of the opposite size in a triangle.
Apply Triangle Inequality Theorem and SSS and SAS inequality. Identify similar triangles.
Recognize and use proportional parts, corresponding perimeters, altitudes, angle bisectors, and medians of similar triangles to solve
problems.

You will have daily assignments. These assignments will be worth 10-50 points each. All work must be shown or
the student will take a zero for the assignment.
These daily assignments are due the following day they are assigned at the beginning of class.
Tests will be given at the end of each chapter. These tests will be worth 100-800 points depending on the length
of the chapter. Quizzes may also be given at different intervals throughout the year. You will be notified in
advance.
Labs are hands-on application activities worth 10-100 points.
There will be a final exam at the end of the year. It will cover everything we have gone over for the year.
Grading
The grade that you will earn in this class will be calculated by dividing the total number of points earned by the total number of points
possible for each grading period. The homework, activities, and lab grade will be worth one-half of the grade and tests will be worth
one-half. The percentages and corresponding letter grades are as follows:
A 90-100
B 80-89
C 70-79
D 60-69
F 59 and Below
