The subject of geometry is a critical component of mathematics. This course requires students to focus on logical proof and critical thinking when solving problems or evaluating arguments. We will combine textbook study with interactive activities and hands on practice to prepare for our assignments and assessments. This course will include the study of points, lines, angles, polygons, circles, surface area, volume, methods of proof, transformations, congruence, and similarity. This course provides necessary mathematical tools for complex reasoning and solving problems in the sciences, technology, and many related skill trades and professions.

Expectations:
BE HERE! You should come to class on time, every school day. DO NOT bring with you food, drinks, excess baggage (cell phones, music devices, luggage, etc...), or a bad attitude.
BE PREPARED! Bring with you any assignments you have been working on, something (s) to write with, and your brain. Come mentally, physically, and emotionally prepared to the best of your abilities each and every day.
BE INVOLVED! I am not here to make you learn, or to learn for you. This is your education and you need to make the most of it. I will do as much as I can to be here for you in the process. This means listen to others while they are talking (teacher, students, guests), ask questions when you have them, share your thoughts and ideas, stay focused during the class period, try your best, and help others when you can. During tests, EVERYONE MUST REMAIN QUIET UNTIL EVERYONE IS DONE!
Miss Sami’s THREE DECREE:
1. Respect all others. 2. Show up mentally prepared. 3. Use your own thinking.
Grading Disbursement:
Test / Quizzes: 50% Assignments: 25% Class Participation: 25%
