Textbook: HOLT McDougal Larson - GEOMETRY
COURSE CONTENT: Geometry Honors is a rigorous course designed to develop the geometric relationships and deductive strategies that can be used to solve a variety of real world and mathematics problems. The content will include geometric constructions, terminology, and fundamental properties of geometry; deductive and inductive reasoning and their application to formal and informal proofs; formulas pertaining to the measurement of plane and solid figures; coordinate geometry and transformations on the coordinate plane; explorations of geometric relationships such as parallelism, perpendicularity, congruence, and similarity, properties of circles, and right triangle trigonometry.
CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS:
• Be in your assigned seat, with work out, when the bell rings.
• Raise your hand and wait to be recognized before you speak.
• Keep ALL food and drinks out of the classroom.
• ALL CELL PHONES NEED TO BE TURNED OFF DURING CLASS-NOT ON
VIBRATE
• Passes will not be handed out during the first or last 10 minutes of each
period.
SUGGESTED SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS:
• Number 2 pencil
• 3 ring binder with loose leaf paper & 6 tab dividers
GRADING POLICY GRADING SCALE

-Quiz - 30% B (80-89%)
-Homework - 15% C (70-79%)
-Participation - 5% D (60-69%)
F (0 -59%)
HOMEWORK POLICY
- HW is to be written out, diagrams drawn, and work shown.
