GEOMETRY

Judson High School

Course Description:   Geometry is a one-term long course in which the students develop reasoning skills, both inductive and deductive, and apply them to problem solving situations.  The mathematical concepts learned in Algebra I are employed in the study of relationships between points, lines, planes, angles, polygons and circles.  Their properties are examined with relation to size, shape, direction and orientation of figures.  Students will learn through a variety of activities, which will include classwork, projects, assessments and hands on activities.  Technology resources include TI-NSpire CX handheld, Mimio Teach/eInstruction, Canvas, and Google Classroom Applications.  Algebra 1 is a prerequisite.

Course Units:

1. Tools of Geometry
2. Transformations and Congruency
3. Lines and Angles
4. Triangle Congruence, Properties, and Special Segments
5. Similarity

 End of 1^st /3^rd Quarter

6. Trigonometry
7. Quadrilaterals and Coordinate Proof
8. Properties of Circles
9. Modeling and Problem Solving
10. Measurement of Modeling in Three Dimensions            
11. Probability              

        End of 2^nd/4^th Quarter

Students Enrolled in Advanced Academic Courses will adhere to JISD district grading policies:

                   Tests/Projects: 40%                      Quizzes/Daily Assignments: 60%  

Learning and reinforcement for the student will also take place outside of class in the form of online tutorials, homework, and projects assigned as needed. Homework will be assigned as needed to be due at the beginning of the next day’s class period.
