Unit 1 – Basics of Geometry

Unit 2 – Reasoning and Proof

Unit 3 – Perpendicular and Parallel Lines

Unit 4 – Congruent Triangles

Unit 5 – Proof of Congruent Triangles

Unit 6 – Properties of Triangles

1.      Geometry, McDougal and Littell.

2.      Pencils and Erasers

3.      Math Notebook

1.      Homework is assigned daily.

2.     Homework is due at the beginning of each class period.

3.     Homework turned in late will receive half credit, unless it follows an absence.

4.     Only Homework done neatly in pencil will be accepted.  Divide a page of note paper (8 1/2 by 11), in half.

F – Below 60%

1.      When a student passes Geometry A with a passing grade they will advance the next semester to Geometry B and receive five credits for graduation. 

2.      If they do not pass they will be required to take Geometry A again.

Unit 7 – Quadrilaterals

Unit 8 – Transformations, and Similarity

Unit 9 – Right Triangles and Trigonometry

Unit 10 – Circles

Unit 11 – Area of Polygons and Circles

Unit 12 – Surface Area and Volume

Required Material, Homework Policy and Grading remains the same for Geometry B

With a passing grade the student will advance to Algebra II and receive the second

five graduation credits for a total of ten for Geometry.

 If the student doesn’t pass they will be required to take Geometry "B" again.
