Class Overview
About Pre-AP Geometry with Statistics
Pre-AP Geometry with Statistics is designed to provide students with a meaningful conceptual bridge between algebra and geometry to deepen their understanding of mathematics. Students often struggle to see the connections among their mathematics courses. In this course, students are expected to use the mathematical knowledge and skills they have developed previously to problem solve across the domains of algebra, geometry, and statistics. Rather than seeking to cover all topics traditionally included in a standard geometry or introductory statistics textbook, this course focuses on the foundational geometric and statistical knowledge and skills that matter most for college and career readiness.
The Pre-AP Geometry with Statistics Course Framework highlights how to guide students to connect core ideas within and across the units of the course, promoting a coherent understanding of measurement. The components of this course have been crafted to prepare not only the next generation of mathematicians, scientists, programmers, statisticians, and engineers, but also a broader base of mathematically informed citizens who are well equipped to respond to the array of mathematics-related issues that impact our lives at the personal, local, and global levels.
The following academic concepts will be covered. THIS IS ONLY A GUIDE AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE
Instructional Objectives for this year include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
Topics of study include: Ø Unit 1 - Measurement in Data Ø Unit 2 - Tools and Techniques of Geometric Measurement Ø Unit 3 - Measurement in Congruent and Similar Figures Ø Unit 4 - Measurement in Two and Three Dimensions Ø Unit 5 - Pre-Calculus preview |
Students will be able to: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with Mathematics Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. |
Expectations
Grading Scheme
Grading Policy -- Grades are posted in infinite campus. Grades will be determined based on the following percentages:
- 50% SUMMATIVE (Unit Tests, Projects, etc.)
- 30% FORMATIVE (Weekly Quizzes, Smaller Assessments, etc.)
- 15% Daily GRADES (Class work, Online Assignments, etc.)
- 5% Homework
Grade Recovery: Late Class and Online will be accepted with a penalty.
Students will be offered the opportunity of grade recovery through Edgenuity. He/She will need to complete the online program in 10 days after the posted due date for the quiz in Infinite Campus. This does not include “Quick Quizzes” which are considered pop quizzes. If that day falls on a weekend or holiday the deadline will be extended to the following school day. The assessment for the online program has to be taken with me. The quiz grade for will be replaced up to a score of 70. (HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE IS A 70)
