ESLRs: SSHS students will demonstrate Academic Excellence Y Through creative and critical thinking skills Y Through effective communication skills Y Through being goal oriented and self-disciplined individuals Career Preparation By taking initiative and demonstrating innovation Y by demonstrating professional conduct, collaboration and other interpersonal skills Y byefficient use of time and resources to achieve goals Y by demonstrating the ability to understand and effectively use relevant technology Engagement in Civic Activities Y through awareness of local and global issues Y by contributing time and talent to community needs COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is sequential, two semester course. It is designed for students with 200d algebra skills who want a strong background in geometry. Geometry is either required or preferred for entrance into most colleges and many vocational schools. Completion of two semesters of Geometry is a prerequisite for all higher math courses. The following topics are studied; measurement of segments and angles; angle relationships; perpendicular and parallel lines; congruent angles and parallel lines; triangles and properties of triangles; congruent triangles; right triangles and Pythagorean Theorem special right triangles: trigonometric ratios and application of trigonometry to right triangle problems; polygons and properties of quadrilaterals; circles and properties of circles; area of common polygons; arc length; circumference and area of circles; surface area and volume of common space figures. Students will also leam to prove geometric statements concerning the measurement of segments and angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, other polygons, and circles. Students will be introduced to the concept of an axiomatic system and to the role of postulates, theorems, and corollaries. Students will learn to construct direct and indirect proofs. COURSE OBJECTIVES (Content Standards): Experiment with transformation in the plane Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions Prove geometric theorems Make geometric constructions ‘Understand similarities in terms of similarity transformation Prove theorems involving similarity Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving right triangles Apply trigonometric to general triangles. Understand and apply theorems about circles yeep eRe10. Find arc lengths and areas of sectors of circles 11. Translate between the geometric description and the equation for a conic section 12, Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically 13. Explain volume formulas and use them to solve problems 14, Visualize relationships between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. 15. Apply geometric concepts in modeling situations 16. Develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data 17. Understand and apply basic concepts of probability COURSE REQUIREMENTS: ¥ Textbook: Larson, Ron, ct.al. Geometry. McDougal Litel! Evanson, Illinois, 2005. Online Textbook: htips.//sites.google.com/site/sshsgeo/home/geometry Pencil and eraser Notebook for notes ¥ Red pen Loose leaf paper (college ruled) Folder with prongs Calculator Additional materials will be announced as need arises. COURSE EVALUATION: Grades will be based on scored obtained from assignments, notebook, portfolio, project, quizzes, and tesVexams. The computation of grades is as follows: A. Participation = 10% B. Assignments = 15% C. Notebook / Portfolio = 15% D. Quizzes = 25% E, Test / Exams = 35% TOTAL: 100% Assignments: 1. Assignments include class work and homework. Each assignment will be from the textbook (additional problems will be assigned from other resources). 2, Each assignment must have the following information on top of the paper: Studens’s name, Period, Date, Page #, and problem numbers 3. Late assignments will only be accepted if the student has an excused absence with a valid admit slip. They are due 2 days after the date of absence. The student is responsible to make up assignments promptly. 4. You are responsible to take notes. You will need these notes to do your assignments and for future reference. Notebook: Student is responsible to take notes during lecture. Each lesson must have the following information in their notes: Lesson title, can statement, Vocabularies, Theories/ Corollaries, and/or Properties Portfolio: Student is responsible to keep a portfolio. The portfolio should have the following at the end of each quarter: course syllabus, assignment log, quiz/test log, monthly progress report, and corrected classwork(s\/homework(s). Projects: There will be at least one project assigned for each semester. Each project will have a criteria sheet given when the project is announced.Quizzes: Short quizzes will be announced ahead of time. Quizzes are used to prepare the student with the material that will be required for mastery for the tests. Tests/Exams: A test will be given after each unit and will be announced ahead of time. Secondly, a pre-/post- test will be given cach quarter. Whether or not the pre-/post-tests will count towards the student’s grade will be discussed further when the time arises. Attendance/Absences Policy: Attendance is very important in the learning process. To establish an open line of communication, the student should contact the instructor via email or by leaving a message with the school 24 hours in advance to notify the teacher of his/her absence, In the event of an absence, the student must submit an excuse note to the main office with a valid reason for absence upon return. The absence must be excused in order for missed assignments, quizzes, tests, and/or projects to be excused, accepted at a later date, and/or taken at a later time. In addition, make-up work must be done and/or submitted in a timely manner. Punctuality is equally important In accordance with Board Policy 411, students who earn a grade of 60% or above but accumulate 6 or more unexcused absences during a semester will earn no credit (NC). Please take note of the following: 3 UNEXCUSEDTARDIES = | UNEXCUSED ABSENCE 10 MINUTES OR MORE TARDY = 1 UNEXCUSED ABSENCE 1-2 DAYS OF ABSENCE = PARENT NOTE 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS = DOCTOR'S CERTIFICATION However, students who eam a failing grade while accumulating 6 or more absences will receive the failing grade instead of no credit (NC) for the semester. Additionally, Board Policy 330 stipulates that students of non-compulsory age (16 or above) who accumulate 13 or more unexcused absences (includes excused, unexcused, tardiness, and suspensions) may be dropped from school for the remainder of the academic year. FIELDTRIPS: Fieldtrip forms will be signed at the teacher’s discretion. Upon return, the bottom portion of the fieldtrip form must be signed and turned in for the absence to be considered an excused absence. CLASSROOM RULES In addition to the school-wide rules, Show RESPECT at all times to yourself and to everyone/everything around you. Come to class on time, prepared, and ready to learn. No Distractions: No grooming, no food or drinks, no chewing gum/pugua, and no electronics. Stay in your seat unless you have permission to do otherwise. Follow directions the first time they are given. waepe CLASSROOM POLICIES/PROCEDURES/EXPECTATIONS In addition to the school-wide policies and procedures, © Students not seated in their assigned seats when the tardy bell rings will be considered tardy. Three unexcused tardies = one unexcused absence. © Pay attention and do your assigned work. Use time wisely. © For excused absence(s), itis the student's responsibility to make arrangements with the teacher regarding any make-up work, make-up quizzes, and/or make-up tests upon return.. An absence before an announced test does not excuse the student from taking the test on the day that it was scheduled to be if there was prior knowledge of it. Going to the water fountain, using the restroom, and such should be done before class time, during break, during lunch, and/or during passing time. Restroom passes will only be given in emergencies. Three passes per quarter. Cheating/copying is a referable offense and may result in a zero percent for both parties. ABSOLUTELY NO chewing gum, hats/shades, and strictly no food or drinks allowed. ABSOLUTELY NO cellphones, iPods, iPad, and other electronic/battery operated or personal music devices are allowed during class time, (regular or homeroom period) even if you're done with your ‘work, Earphones and headphones should be kept in your bag. Raise your hand if you have any questions. Wait until the bell rings to dispose your trash. Please keep the desks and classrooms clean at all times. Students are dismissed by the teacher, NOT the bell. No sleeping in class. No profanity, vulgar language or obscene gesture in the classroom. Use polite speech and appropriate language only. Please be very respectful to each other and to your teacher. ‘Tutoring is available upon request and by appointment, Medical conditions must be conveyed ahead of time.
