Geometry Disclosure for Mrs. Reese
Description & Objective:
The major postulates and theorems of Euclidean geometry form the basis of
this course. Logical structures are investigated. Geometric constructions and
coordinate geometry are studied. Students should be able to investigate
geometry concepts using technology and paper/pencil then draw conclusions.
Trigonometry concepts are applied to appropriate geometry concepts.
Students will develop techniques and problem solving strategies to solve and
prove in a variety of situations. They will gain the ability to use
mathematics in today’s world and improve critical thinking skills. They will
learn to communicate both orally and in writing and benefit from on-going
review.
Materials & Equipment:
1” Binder Pencils and Colored pencils Scientific Calculator
Compass Protractor Ruler
Loose-leaf paper & 3 dividers
Assignments, Quizzes and Tests:
·Assignments will be given on a regular basis.
·They are to be done on standard sized paper and in pencil.
·The student is responsible for getting any work when not in class.Students
can get the work from my web page.
·The assignments are due the next class period. Any work not turned in on
time will be marked late.
·Students will be given 8 Redo/Late passes that can be used for late work,
any work with very low score, or to bring up a quiz or test score.
·Quizzes will be given from previous assignments at the end of 2-3 sections.
Tests will be given after every chapter. Missed quizzes and tests must be
made up within 1 week after returning to school.
·Students will turn in a notebook at the end of every quarter.
Grading:
Homework 30% Quizzes 25% Tests 30% Projects/Writing/Notebook 15%
A = 91.8 A- = 88.8 B+ = 84.8 B = 80.8 B- = 77.8
C+ = 74.8 C = 70.8 C- = 67.8 D+ = 64.8 D = 60.8
D- = 55.8 F = 0
Citizenship Grades: Students’ grades will be based on behavior and effort
made in class. Honesty is a major part of the grade. Grades for tardies and
attendance are outlined in the planner.
