Welcome to Geometry

2” 3-Ring Binder Scientific Calculator

◦ Graphing calculator may be used, but is not required (TI83-plus is recommended)

Writing Utensil Graph Paper & Loose Leaf Paper

What the students need to be successful:

Be respectful Be here on time Be prepared Homework done and out, ready to be

checked Maximum effort

My expectations of the students:

We do not have a textbook. ◦ Packets distributed by unit

Kept in a 2” binder Students will be assigned homework out of

the packets daily.

No textbook:

Logic Polygons & Quadrilaterals Surface Area & Volume Triangles Proofs Transformations Locus Systems of Equations Circles Constructions

In this course we will be studying the following topics:

In 5-13, solve each quadratic-linear system graphically, showing the graphs of both equations on the same axes for the interval -2 ≤ x ≤ 2.

Solve equation for y

y = 6 - 2x 2

2 x + y = 2

Daily homework counts as 10% of their grade.

Quizzes – 12-15 per marking period counting as 40% of their grade.

Unit Tests – taken at the end of each unit counting as 50% of their grade.

Their overall marking period grade is just the sum of the three percentages.

Regents exam at the end of the year counts as 20% of their overall average for the year.

How are the students assessed?

How do the students receive extra help?

Students are welcome to come to my room any period that I do not have instruction for help – 1st, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th.

The students will take a regents in June. This regents must be passed if the student

wants an advanced regents diploma. The regents counts as 20% of their final

overall average. Lets check out the rubrics:
