Math – Geometry

$ 960.00

In this high school Geometry course, students will become familiar with geometric concepts, constructs, and skills. They will practice skills using self-corrected exercise sets in preparation for chapter tests that gauge their grasp of the material. Activities provide varied opportunities to explore real-world applications, dive deeper into concepts with technology, analyze concepts from a historical and cultural perspective, apply math concepts artistically, look at issues in society through a mathematical lens and more.  This secular but inclusive full year course is offered in Naperville with in-person class meetings once/week with work between classes for one full credit of transcriptable mathematics. Families that are unsure if their child is ready for Geometry may want to consider our Algebra 1 course offering.

Description

Geometry

Students meet on Mondays, 2:15 – 3:25 pm with approximately 3 hours of work to do between class meetings.  Registration is for the full year.

Students in this course should have completed an entire Algebra 1 program.  

Topics Covered (click here to expand)
This course covers essential topics of Euclidean geometry to provide students with solid foundational math skills to prepare them for success in Algebra 2 and beyond.

Topics include the following:

  • basic geometric terms and definitions
  • reasoning and proofs (direct and indirect)
  • properties and theorems related to parallel and perpendicular lines
  • triangles and congruence
  • special properties of triangles
  • properties of quadrilaterals
  • similarity
  • transformations
  • right triangles and trigonometry
  • area
  • surface area
  • volume
  • circles, and other conic sections

Students also have the opportunity to explore extension topics including Frieze patterns, Laws of Sines and Cosines, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, measurement, rounding error, reasonableness, and the effect of measurement errors on calculations.

Required Materials
Books will be loaned to students for the year and cannot be written in.

Students will need:

  • 1″ to 1-1/2″ binder with 50 sheets of filler/looseleaf paper and at least 2 dividers
  • pencils (students are welcome to bring mechanical pencils)
  • covered pencil sharpener (blade not exposed)
  • pencil bag to contain items
  • If binder does not have pockets on the inside cover, a double pocket folder for handouts.

Additionally, students will need technical ability to access Zoom, EdPuzzle, FlipGrid, Nearpod.com, Discovery Education Streaming, Study.com and Canvas (our learning management system).

At home, students will need access to the internet (home or library) to look up information, related published materials and/or videos and do work through our class learning management system.  Students may or may not have assignments on MyMathLab.

All other materials for this class will be supplied!

Time required outside of class
Amount of time will depend on your student’s speed/fluency with writing, reading or the topic at hand and the content of the week. Families should allocate approximately 3 hours/week to complete various assigned labs, tasks or group collaboration that might require internet access in preparation for live class. Some of this can be done during Flex Work Time at our facility.  This course has 2 pre-scheduled Asynchronous Learning weeks during Fall Pause & Mid-winter Pause; but does not have additional assigned work during Thanksgiving Week, Winter Break or Spring Break.

Combined with our live class time, this is a total of 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours/week (except for our 2 asynchronous weeks which will have 2 hours of work to replace class) for a course total of approximately 120-152 hours for the year.  This equates to one full credit using the Carnegie unit methodology.

Parent Considerations
Students should be able to add, subtract, multiply, divide and have a sold grasp of fractions and decimals.

This is a teen-oriented course that will have group work often. Students will also regularly be on point to share ideas in front of a group and participate in group activities during our online sessions. Shy students will not be bullied into participating by any means; but if your student does not have a habit of “warming up” after getting to know a group–this may not be a comfortable setting for them
