Geometry Teacher: Katy Roach Room: 201 Conference Hour: 9th Period (2:50-3:37) Email: [email protected] Phone: 806.336.6676 Resources: http://ksroach.weebly.com www.bookerisd.net Class Description: “In Geometry, students will build on the knowledge and skills for mathematics in Kindergarten-Grade 8 and Algebra I to strengthen their mathematical reasoning skills in geometric contexts. Within the course, students will begin to focus on more precise terminology, symbolic representations, and the development of proofs. Students will explore concepts covering coordinate and transformational geometry; logical argument and constructions; proof and congruence; similarity, proof, and trigonometry; two- and three-dimensional figures; circles; and probability. Students will connect previous knowledge from Algebra I to Geometry through the coordinate and transformational geometry strand. In the logical arguments and constructions strand, students are expected to create formal constructions using a straight edge and compass. Though this course is primarily Euclidean geometry, students should complete the course with an understanding that non-Euclidean geometries exist. In proof and congruence, students will use deductive reasoning to justify, prove and apply theorems about geometric figures. Throughout the standards, the term "prove" means a formal proof to be shown in a paragraph, a flow chart, or two-column formats. Proportionality is the unifying component of the similarity, proof, and trigonometry strand. Students will use their proportional reasoning skills to prove and apply theorems and solve problems in this strand. The two- and threedimensional figure strand focuses on the application of formulas in multi-step situations since students have developed background knowledge in two- and three-dimensional figures. Using patterns to identify geometric properties, students will apply theorems about circles to determine relationships between special segments and angles in circles. Due to the emphasis of probability and statistics in the college and career readiness standards, standards dealing with probability have been added to the geometry curriculum to ensure students have proper exposure to these topics before pursuing their post-secondary education.” (High School Math TEKS http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=2147499971) Parent Expectations: Provide supplies needed for student to be prepared for school. Monitor Student progress and attendance. Be aware of school activities and encourage attendance and promptness. Provide student with a time and place to do homework. Provide a positive learning environment at home. Periodically check Parent Portal and Progress Reports. Geometry Attend as many open houses, parent-teacher conferences, and other school activities as possible. Seek information about all aspects of his/her child’s education, including (but not limited to) scheduling of classes, homework assignments, tests, extracurricular activities, and scholarships. This information can be available from school notices, Booker ISD website, and TextWire. Maintain respectful, ongoing communications with teachers. Serve, to the extent possible, on school advisory committees. Student Expectations: Have an awareness of his/her academic goals and/or graduation plans. Attend all classes on time prepared with necessary materials. Do class work and homework every day and ask for help when needed. Maintain an average of 70 or above in all classes. Prepare for grade appropriate state tests, including (but not limited to) STAAR, End of Course, ACT, PSAT, and SAT. Follow the school policies and conduct him/her-self in a respectful manner. Due Dates and Late Policy: All assignments should be completed by the specified due date. Grades will drop 10% for each late day. After 3 days late, the assignment will receive a “0” in the grade book. Late Policy: On Time Late 1 Day 2 Days 3 Days 100% 90% 80% 70% Grading: Grade Weights: A: 90% or higher; B: 80%-89%; C: 70%-79%; F: 69% and below. Homework Quizzes Tests Academic Integrity 40% 20% 40% All work must be competed individually unless otherwise stated. The commission of any of the following acts constitute scholastic dishonesty: acquiring or providing information for any assigned work or exam from any unauthorized source; informing any person of the contents of any exam prior to the time it is given in any subsequent sections of the class or as a makeup exam; plagiarizing; and presenting another person’s work as one’s own. Any form of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of “0” for the assignment in question, and there will be no opportunities for make-up work. Acceptable Student Behavior Be respectful of administrators, professors, support staff, and your peers. Although the “Golden Rule” is often trivialized, it certainly makes sense for people to treat others how they want to be treated themselves. For example, some assignments for this class include group discussions, and when discussing ideas with peers, it is important to respect the views of others even when we disagree with them just as we expect others to respect our own views.
