- Description
-
Geometry Connections is a college preparatory mathematics course. It emphasizes several big ideas in an integrated algebra/geometry context. The key concepts addressed in this course are:
Transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, dilation) and symmetry
Relationships between figures
Properties and measurements of plane figures
Measurements of three-dimensional shapes
Tools for analyzing and measuring shapes
Investigation and proof (having found patterns, students conjecture and prove)
Geometric construction (with compass and straightedge)
Algebra (a significant review of writing and solving equations and graphing)
Probability
The course is structured around problems and investigations that build spatial visualization skills, conceptual understanding of geometry topics, and an awareness of connections between different ideas. Algebra is weaved throughout the course and reviewed on a continuous basis. Students are supported through hotmath.com, which provides step-by-step solutions of how to solve homework problems. The objective of this course is to provide students with a foundation for the study of Algebra 2 and trigonometry.
Supplies
It is mandatory that each student has and brings all supplies daily.
Ruler
Protractor
Binder
A spiral graphing notebook
Notebook paper
Pencil/Pens (black or blue ink only)
Calculator (Preferably scientific, but it need NOT be a graphing calculator)
Handheld pencil sharpener

Classroom Policies
All students will carry a personal reading book with them at all times, for reading at designated times.
For handwritten work, heading requires name, date, and period on the top right
If a student is absent, it is the student's responsibility to ask for make-up assignments before or after school with in the day of return.
No grooming, lotion, perfume, or other cosmetics in the classroom. All items will be confiscated and may be picked up by student after school.
Grading Policy
Tests 45%
Students should expect a test approximately every three to four weeks. Students will be notified in advance of the test date. A mock test will be given twice a year to prepare students for CST testing.
Practice 15%
Practice will be given on almost a daily basis. Practice assignments will be graded for effort. Work needs to be shown for each problem to receive full credit. If you do not understand a problem then write what you don't understand about the problem.
Classwork/Projects 30%
Classwork consists of a spiral notebook which should contain Quick Questions, notes, and classwork all sectioned off. Projects consist of a standards based assignment which will often culminate with an oral presentation.
Quizzes 10%
Team tests, quizzes, and exit slips all fall under this category. Team tests are designed to be taken with a team and therefore will not be allowed to be made up.
Semester Grade
A comprehensive final will be given at the end of each semester. The final will be counted as two test grades.
Grading Scale
100%-90% A
89%-80% B
79%-70% C

Rhombus Facts Review what you have previously learned about a rhombus below. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides. All rhombi (the plural of rhombus) are parallelograms. The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other. That is, they intersect each other at their midpoints and form right angles at that point. Examine these relationships in the diagram at right.

A closed three-dimensional solid that has flat, polygonal faces is called a polyhedron. The plural of polyhedron is polyhedra. “Poly” is the Greek root for “many,” and “hedra” is the Greek root for “faces.” A prism is a special type of polyhedron. It must have two congruent, parallel bases that are polygons. Also, its lateral faces (the faces connecting the bases) are parallelograms formed by connecting the corresponding vertices of the two bases. Note that lateral faces may be any type of parallelogram, such as rectangles, rhombi, or squares. |

Volume and Total Surface Area of a Solid Volume measures the size of a three-dimensional space enclosed within an object. It is expressed as the number of 1 x 1 x 1 cubes (or parts of cubes) that fit inside a solid. For example, the solid shown at right has a volume of 6 cubic units. Since volume reflects the number of cubes that fit within a solid, it is measured in cubic units. For example, if the dimensions of a solid are measured in feet, then the volume would be measured in cubic feet (a cube with dimensions 1' x 1' x 1' ). On the other hand, the total surface area of a solid is the area of all of the external faces of the solid. For example, the total surface area of the solid above is 24 square units.

Conditional statement: If you’re in the forest, then you will see trees.
Converse: If you see trees, then you’re in the forest. (This could be true, but there are so many other places you can see trees like at the beach, or by your house so you could or could not be in the forest.) Are the parallel line converses all true?
