This course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions. It includes the study of transformations and right triangle trigonometry. Inductive and deductive thinking skills are used in problem solving situations, and applications to the real world are stressed. It also emphasizes writing proofs to solve (prove) properties of geometric figures.
Pencils/stylus - think, don't ink. Mistakes are ok and they are far easier to fix with an eraser or on an iPad.
3-ring binder with paper/notebook - to take notes almost daily, write down your work for homework and assessment
Dividers (optional) - this will help you keep organized throughout the year
Charged iPad - we will be using this every day. Presentations will be available on your iPad. Desmos will be referenced often. Collaboration will be much easier with your own iPad every day.
TI-84 - WRMS students in Algebra 1 and above must have their own graphing calculator. You can find it here.
Graph paper - This will not be used as often, but when we do, we use it a lot. (can also be accessed on iPad)
Compass and straightedge for proofs and projects. You can find an example set here.
