Aloha Parents, Guardians, and Students ,

My name is Derek Saiki and I am the Geometry teacher for Hui Onipa'a .  I am a graduate of Kapa'a High School and continued my education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa  where I earn my Bachelor's  degree in Secondary Education and Mathematics. I have spent my first 6 years of teaching at Kalani High School on Oahu before coming back to my alma mater in 2018. I am looking forward to working with everyone this year.

Geometry is a course that focuses on understanding the attributes and relationships of shapes and their parts.  We will cover the Common Core Standards for Geometry which will be the foundation for a student’s success in other high school and college math courses as well as in possible future occupations.  Topics may include geometry foundations, transformations, congruence, similarity, and right triangles and trigonometry.  

A course syllabus will be accessible in Google Classroom.
