Give basic expectations of and define some prerequisite skills for Geometry students.

1. Welcome to Geometry

3. I will be the first to admit, some of the material covered in this class is going to be challenging, but you may find some of it a little slow and boring. Material

4. I will be the first to admit, some of the material covered in this class is going to be challenging, but you may find some of it a little slow and boring. The best advise I can give is: Material

5. I will be the first to admit, some of the material covered in this class is going to be challenging, but you may find some of it a little slow and boring. The best advise I can give is: 1) Just because I admit that some of the material may be boring, DON’T UNDER-ESTIMATE IT. Material

The best advise I can give is: 1) Just because I admit that some of the material may be boring, DON’T UNDER-ESTIMATE IT. 2) Know the VOCABULARY! More often than not, it is the vocabulary that will get you. Material

8. We will discuss such things as: Points, Lines, Rays, and Planes Material

9. We will discuss such things as: Points, Lines, Rays, and Planes Material

10. We will discuss such things as: Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal Material

11. We will discuss such things as: Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal Material

12. We will discuss such things as: Triangle Congruence and Similarity Material

13. We will discuss such things as: Triangle Congruence and Similarity Material

14. We will Investigate the properties of Quadrilaterals Material

15. We will Investigate the properties of Quadrilaterals Material

16. We will study several other topics as well but, that’s enough to get us started for now. Material

17. Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation). Prerequisites I expect you to become very comfortable with manipulating, (add, subtract, multiply & divide) fractions!

18. Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation). Prerequisites I expect you to become very comfortable with manipulating, (add, subtract, multiply & divide) fractions! I will consistently assign and generate problems that involve fractions.

19. Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation). Prerequisites I expect you to become very comfortable with manipulating, (add, subtract, multiply & divide) fractions! I will consistently assign and generate problems that involve fractions. Try this one!

22. Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation). Prerequisites Solving basic linear equations and dealing with fractions is the main prerequisite. Otherwise, you should have good reading skills and study habits . Vocabulary will probably be your main obstacle.

25. Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation). Prerequisites Solving and graphing basic linear equations will be reviewed. However, if this seems to give you much trouble, you will want to get in for extra help and get it under control rapidly. This is an Algebra 1 task.

29. My expectations are very simple: Expectations

35. Everyone asks about “Extra – Credit” at one time or another. So, let’s define what extra-credit IS , and Extra – Credit

40. Everyone asks about “Extra – Credit” at one time or another. So, let’s define what extra-credit IS, and what extra-credit IS NOT . Extra – Credit

43. Everyone asks about “Extra – Credit” at one time or another. Ideas I have for Extra-Credit: Extra – Credit

50. Wisdom Ben Franklin was once asked what good a new invention was, he responded: “ What good is a newborn baby?” Translation: What good is mathematics?

51. Wisdom Ben Franklin was once asked what good a new invention was, he responded: “ What good is a newborn baby?” Translation: What good is mathematics? In an immature state, none!

52. Wisdom Ben Franklin was once asked what good a new invention was, he responded: “ What good is a newborn baby?” Translation: What good is mathematics? In an immature state, none! If nurtured and developed properly, there is no limitation.

If nurtured and developed properly, there is no limitation. “ If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it away from him. An investment of knowledge always pays the best interest.” Benjamin Franklin
