Welcome to Geometry! We will cover the same material as a block Geometry section, but at a slower pace. Our SOL test will be at the end of April or beginning of May and will be based on the new SOLs. Most things stayed the same.
Geometry is a course that puts together a lot of material previously introduced in grade school math and algebra. A part of Geometry is learning new words, so keep up on your vocabulary. Another part of Geometry is solving very basic algebra problems, so if your algebra skills are weak the you need to see me to get some extra work to improve those skills. Another part of Geometry is logic and with it many SOL questions become a choice between only 2 answers instead of 4.
Class needs: You will need a three-ring binder, notebook paper and pencils or pens for every class. Normally, I would supply student notes, handouts, quizzes and tests that you will need to keep in your three-ring binder, however, this year, at least to start, everything will be on-line. You will enhance your class experience if you can take advantage of the tremendous on-line materials the publisher has provided and the Khan Academy videos and Virtual nerd videos that tie into our lessons. These links can be found in the student notes file for each chapter.
If you are having trouble, come in and see me. Don't fall behind.

COVID-19 School Virtual Schedule to start the year
During this extraordinary event, please use your computer, phones or chromebook to monitor these pages. This page has all of the material that we use in class: student notes, student lessons (gone over with the projector) and all assignments I hand out in class.
Our Google Classroom page will have this same material and will have all the assignments on it. The Classroom code is just below. Students will need to use our Google classroom page to do the assignments at home and then upload them through Classroom so I can get their work. All reading material is on this page and in our Google classroom, including links to our textbook. Please use the on-line PDF student note files to search for keywords to do the assignments and follow the lessons I would have presented in class through the projector, but will be presenting through Google Meet videos.
All students can do SOL Gateways to improve their scores. Please do not retake a chapter Gateway until one has been reloaded with a later date than the previous one you took (otherwise, you are just retaking the same test over again).
