Course Description:
This course is for those students who have successfully completed Algebra I in the 8th or 9th grade).
Geometry is the study of logical reasoning. Points, lines, and planes are used as the building blocks of
geometric figures, and as the basic models from which to reason. Emphasis is placed on formal proofs and
problem-solving involving algebra skills.
Course Schedule
Semester One Semester Two
1. Essentials of Geometry 6. Similarity
2. Reasoning and Proof 7. Right Triangles and Trigonometry
3. Parallel and Perpendicular Lines 8. Quadrilaterals
4. Congruent Triangles 9. Properties of Circles
5. Relationships within Triangles 10. Measurement of Figures and Solids
Materials
Students should come prepared with all of the following materials necessary for class each day:
Homework Notebook (only acceptable writing utensil for exams)
Pencil
Textbook (a limited amount Pen/Highlighter Calculator (TI-84 Plus graphing
will be available in class for use.) calculator recommended)
Attendance
The greatest tool each student has towards being successful in math is attendance. The days you
miss break the learning sequence and hurt you. Math is a culminating subject where one day builds on the
next and so on. Thus, material missed may lead to math becoming unnecessarily difficult.
If you must be absent, it is your responsibility to obtain missed assignments/content. Use the
following steps as an outline for handling make-up work:
1. Check Make-up Assignment Board for missed tests/quizzes.
Schedule a time with Miss Myers to complete the assignment.
Students will have one cycle to make-up the missed assignments without penalty.
After one cycle, quizzes will receive a 0%, tests will lose 10% per day until reaching a
maximum deduction of 50%.
2. Check class folder in the Absentee Handouts Bin for missed worksheets, projects, handouts. etc.
Students will have the same number of days as their absence (as outlined in the
student handbook) to complete the missed assignments for full credit.
After the number of days of the absence, assignments will be reduced each day until
reaching a maximum of 50%.
3. Copy missed notes from any of the following:
The class binder, a responsible classmate, or Miss Myers’ website
www.northernpbmath.weebly.com
4. Show Miss Myers the homework that was due on the day of your absence. Ask a responsible
classmate or Miss Myers about the assignment(s) you missed during your absence.
5. Optional but recommended: Get a pass for Math Lab to get additional help with notes,
homework questions, etc. as necessary.
Grading: A 93-100% B 85-92% C 77-84% D 70-76% F below 70%
Sapphire Grade Book Codes:
0 – Assignment is calculated as a zero and can no longer be turned in for credit.
M – Assignment is “missing” (whether from absence or a failure to complete it) and
may still be turned in for credit. This score is calculated as a “zero” until student
turns in the assignment.
C – Assignment has been “collected” but not yet graded. No score is attributed to the
“C” code, so the student’s final grade will not be affected until the actual score is
keyed into the gradebook.
Ex – Assignment is “exempt/excused” and will not count against the student’s grade.
I would like to incorporate several web-based resources into this course, but I need to
know my students’ accessibilities. Please answer each of the following questions so that I
may judge which projects are applicable for students this year.
Thank you,
Miss Myers
