2023 - 2024
INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION:
Mr. Howe
Room A114
Hours: 7:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Email: howea@deerfield.k12.wi.us
Phone: 764-5431 ext 1114
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Geometry is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions. It includes the study of transformations and right triangle trigonometry. Inductive and deductive thinking skills are used in problem solving situations, and applications to the real world are stressed. It also emphasizes writing proofs to solve (prove) properties of geometric figures. Students who complete Geometry should take Algebra II next.
COURSE PREREQUISITES:
Successful completion of Algebra 1 along with adequate skills in basic arithmetic including the ability to accurately calculate with decimals, fractions, percents and integers.
REQUIRED MATERIALS: (Bring to Class Everyday
1. Binder and Notebook: dedicated for Math ONLY
2a. Writing Utensil: Pencils or pens
2b. Colored Pencils - Optional
