PLANNED COURSE

I. GENERAL INFORMATION:

DATE: August 2006

COURSE TITLE: Geometry

MEETINGS/CYCLE: 6

PREREQUISITE(S): Algebra I or Applied Algebra II

II. COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Plane Geometry is intended for students after their first year of Algebra. This course is intended to emphasize reasoning and logical thinking; balance coordinate, synthetic, and transformational geometry; integrate technology as a problem solving tool; and incorporate proofs of various kinds. The goal is to connect Geometry to the real world through experimentation and discovery.

III. CONTENT: a. Tools of Geometry b. Reasoning in Proof c. Parallel and Perpendicular lines d. Relationships of Triangles e. Quadrilaterals f. Area g. Right Triangle Trigonometry h. Similarity i. Circles j. Surface Area and Volume k. Coordinate Geometry

V. COURSE MATERIALS

a. Dan Kennedy, Ph.D; Randall I. Charles, Ph.D. Text: Geometry. Prentice Hall., Copyright: 2004 b. All available resource booklets, worksheets, software, etc. c. TI 82 Graphing Calculators d. Protractors, Templates, Compasses, etc, as needed.

VI. COURSE REQUIREMENTS/EXPECTATIONS

a. Grading Students are graded during the nine-week marking period based on the percent of points they earn out of the total possible points. Points in this college prep class are earned primarily through attendance, preparing a portfolio, scores on quizzes and tests, presenting an oral project, solving one (or more) high level problem(s), attending extra study sessions, and participating in parent/student communication activities. (Classes may vary). A final exam is counted in as per district policy to attain the student’s final average. This course has no weighting. b. Homework Policy Students are expected to complete each and every assignment given. While often not collected or graded, this option exists. Practice through participating in assignments is an integral part of success in Geometry.

VII. COURSE ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES

a. The assessment used in this course will consist mostly of exams taken individually by each student. Each exam will be weighted by the number of items it contains. During each marking period, a certain number of assignments, projects, and/or extra credit activities will be assigned. All items are up to the instructor’s discretion. b. Policies on all late work, missed exams, and missed classes will be followed according to the student’s Pathfinder.
