What's Going On? September 21st-25th

This week in Honors Geometry we will begin our second unit on "Reasoning and Proof". Students will be introduced to logic statements and learn the basis for forming a logical argument. In this unit, students will also be introduced to two-column proofs.  We will connect this new topic to something students learned in Algebra: solving equations.  Students will learn about two column proof by justifying each of their steps in solving a basic Algebra equation.  Once students have a firm grasp on this, we will then apply our knowledge of two-column proof to Geometry.

Last week, students completed our first summative assessment on the Basics of Geometry.  If a student is not happy with their grade, he or she may choose to retake one or both learning targets on the assessment provided that all of their homework assignments were completed prior to the start of our test.  If a student is interested in a test retake, they must following the following procedure:

1. Make an appointment with Mrs. Kamenar before school, during lunch, or during class work time to correct the mistakes made on the original assessment.
2. Let Mrs. Kamenar know which learning targets you would like to retake. Mrs. Kamenar will then send personalized extra practice to help reinforce the concepts missed.
3. Students must complete their retake within one week of receiving the results of the original assessment. Please note that the score of the second assessment will be recorded in Infinite Campus, even if the retake score is lower than the first.

Please see me if you have any questions!
