Course Description:
Students will gain basic knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of Geometry. We
will also be concentrating on Algebra concepts. This class is also a preparatory class for Algebra
II. We will focus on preparing students to meet their state assessment requirements.
Goals:
The students will:
¤ Begin with basic Algebra operations, highlighting previous state standard
objectives.
¤ Explore Geometry: building blocks, measuring length and angles, and
motion in Geometry.
¤ Explore properties of quadrilaterals, parallel lines, sum of interior and
exterior angles and use of coordinates to analyze polygons.
¤ Be introduced to triangle congruence
¤ Find area, perimeter, circumference, and application of the Pythagorean
Theorem.
¤ Explore three-dimensional space: surface area and volume.
¤ Calculate the surface area, volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones and
spheres.
¤ Explore figures through dilations.
¤ Explore relationships among parts of circles: angles, segments, arcs and
chords.
¤ Apply the use of sine, cosine, and tangent.
¤ Proofs
Behavior Expectations:
Students are expected to come to class prepared, ready and willing to work. They are also
expected to not disrupt the learning of others. Respect for teachers, peers and themselves will
help facilitate a safe learning environment for everyone.
Attendance:
Students are expected to attend classes and make up work when absent. They will receive two
days to make up their assignments for everyday they are absent. If the assignment is not turned
in or completed within the time allowed, it may receive a zero. It is the students’ responsibility
to determine what they missed while they were gone.
Make-up
Students will have one week after each nine weeks to make up work to change an Incomplete (I)
into a C. If the work is not made up within one week, the Incomplete will be changed to an F.
Evaluation:
Students will earn a grade though proficiency in the classroom. There will be a combination of
ways to illustrate proficiency. Students will have multiple opportunities to become proficient on
the standards of the class. Points are awarded for each of these efforts which are tabulated for a
grade using a rubric. Earning a D is no longer available at HHS. You are either proficient with a
C or higher or you earn an F.
Semester Exam
Students must pass semester exam with a 70% or higher or they will not pass the semester.
Semester Exams will be given approximately two weeks before the end of the semester.
Grading
100% to 90% of total points earn an A
89% to 80% is a B
79% to 70% is a C
69% and less is a F
