CLASSROOM OVERVIEW

Honors Geometry

 

GSE  Geometry is the second in a sequence of courses designed to ensure that students are prepared to study higher‐level mathematics.  GSE Geometry is organized into 7 units. Transformations on the coordinate plane provide opportunities for the formal study of congruence and similarity. The study of similarity leads to an understanding of right triangle trigonometry and connects to quadratics through Pythagorean relationships. The study of circles uses similarity and congruence to develop basic theorems relating circles and lines. Quadratic expressions, equations, and functions are developed; their characteristics and behavior are compared to those of linear and exponential relationships from Algebra.  Circles return with their quadratic algebraic representations on the coordinate plane. The link between probability and data is explored through conditional probability. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout the course and, together with the content standards, encourage students to experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject.

  3. The study of circles uses similarity and congruence to develop basic theorems relating circles and lines
  4. Quadratic expressions, equations, and functions and geometric measurements.
  5.  Circles return with their quadratic algebraic representations on the coordinate plane.
  6. Probability and data is explored through conditional probability.

Expectations 

EXPECTATIONS FOR SUCCESS

STUDENT PROGRESS

The progress of students shall be evaluated frequently and plans shall be generated to remediate deficiencies as they are discovered. Plans shall include appropriate interventions designed to meet the needs of the students.

 

 

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Students will not engage in an act of academic dishonesty including, but not limited to, cheating, providing false information, falsifying school records, forging signatures, or using an unauthorized computer user ID or password.

HOMEWORK

Homework assignments should be meaningful and should be an application or adaptation of a classroom experience.  Homework is at all times an extension of the teaching/learning experience.  It should be considered the possession of the student and should be collected, evaluated and returned to the students.
