What's Going On? The week of May 27-May 30

Transformations 
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend and is feeling refreshed!  We're down to our last three weeks of school and there's a lot going on!  When we return from the long weekend, we'll spend a day reviewing for our Transformations test.  I will also check in our Unit 11 for our Book Creator project and collect your amazing tessellation projects!  After our day of review we'll take our test on Transformations (5th and 6th period will take the test on Wednesday and 4th period will take it on Thursday).

Once our transformations test is complete we will focus on our final exam and set a due date for our Book Creator projects.  If you have questions, comments or concerns, please see me ASAP!   I am available for extra help and I would be happy to help you end the year to the best of your ability!

What's Going On? May 12th - May 16th

Surface Area and Volume
This week in Honors Geometry we'll be finishing up our study of Surface Area and Volume.  We finished up last week by talking about the relationship between the volume of prisms and pyramids.

We will start the week by learning about the relationship between the surface area and volume of spheres.  Once we have tackled spheres, we will start our reviewing process for our Unit 11 Summative.  Students who have completed the unit 11 summative review assignment and at least three other homework assignments will be eligible to use a formula notecard for their summative assessment.  Formulas students will want to include include area formulas from unit 10, surface area formula, and volume formulas.

What's Going On? May 5th-May 9th

Surface Area and Volume

This week in Honors Geometry we will continue our brief study of three-dimensional objects.  We will talk about how to find the surface area of pyramids and cones.  We will also take a short formative assessment on surface area early in the week.

After our brief study of surface area, we will move on to volume.  We will discuss how to find the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres.

On Wednesday, students will also submit their Unit 9 (circles) and Unit 10 (area) chapters for their "Book Creator" assignment.  This is a check-in point to make sure that students are on track to complete their summative assessment by the end of May.
