Unit 4

Last week, we began working on Unit 4. During this unit, students learn about transformations such as translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations of geometric figures. I intend to do a project instead of a test to finish this unit, details will come later! I hope to start these projects on November 20th.

Speaking of projects, students worked on a City Planning Project for the end of last unit. Those were completed in class the week prior to starting Unit 4. Once they are graded, ask to see them! They look great.

Unit 2

Students took their first test (Unit 1) on Thursday 8/29. This means we will start Unit 2 when we return from our long Labor Day Weekend.
 
In Unit 2, students will begin to explore Reasoning and Proofs:
  • 2.1 - Conditional Statements
  • 2.2 - Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
  • 2.3 - Postulates and Diagrams
  • 2.4 - Algebraic Reasoning
  • 2.5 - Proving Statements about Segments and Angles
  • 2.6 - Proving Geometric Relationships
My goal is to have our Unit 2 test on Thursday, 9/19, however this date will be flexible based on how fast we move through the unit.

**Edit: We will be taking our Unit 2 test on Wednesday 9/18 and Thursday 9/19.

Unit 1

Our first unit is called Basics of Geometry and contains the following lessons:
1.1 - Points, Lines, and Planes
1.2 - Measuring and Constructing Segments
1.3 - Using Midpoint and Distance Formulas
1.4 - Perimeter and Area in the Coordinate Plane
1.5 - Measuring and Constructing Angles
1.6 - Describing Pairs of Angles
 
My goal is to have our Unit 1 test on Thursday, August 29th.

Introduction

Hello!

It is about time I finally update you on class. I intend to make a post each time we start a new unit with a scope and sequence of what the lesson covers as well as the date I intend to have our Unit exam. The Unit exam date may change due to pacing in class.

For a complete list of assignments and grades, please visit your student's Infinite Campus (for grades, updated at least every Friday).

Please email me with any additional questions or concerns.
