Geometry

A little bit about this class: In Geometry, we will study the properties and applications of different geometric figures. We will also focus on applying the eight mathematical practices in a way that will develop our ability to think precisely, critically, and logically.

What we will cover: Our units are as follows:

Coordinate Geometry
Rigid Transformations
Conic Sections
Congruent Triangles
Constructions
Geometric Relationships and Properties
Similarity
Trigonometry
Circles
Geometric Measurement and Dimension
Probability

Grading: The grading policy at NHCS is as follows:

15% Homework (graded for completion every day)
15% Homework (graded for accuracy at least once per week)
20% Classwork
25% Quizzes (given every Thursday)
25% Tests or Projects

Revision Policy: Revision is a natural part of learning. For this reason, most assignments may be redone in order to improve a grade. I will always give advance notice as well as the reason why if revision is not possible for a specific assignment.

Homework: It is essential that you are practicing the topics we are learning in class. This can be a challenging class, and it will be extremely difficult to succeed if you don't do your homework. I try to keep all assignments short, and I will not assign anything that doesn't specifically help you practice a necessary skill for class. It is highly recommended that you come in for extra help if you are struggling with your homework.

Extra Help: I am available most days after school, and will always give advance notice on days I can't be here. Please do not hesitate to get help - you deserve to succeed and be the best that you can possibly be.
