What's Going On? September 10th through September 14th

Unit 1: Basics of Geometry

This week in Honors Geometry we are going to focus on more geometric vocabulary, including
midpoints, angle bisectors, perpendicular bisectors, linear pairs, and vertical angles.  Once we have discussed the terminology, we will learn how to construct some of these items using a compass and ruler.  We will also spend some time this week talking about Geometry in relationship to the coordinate plane.  This will include focusing on the midpoint and distance formulas.

Formative Assessments

Last week students took our first online assessment through our BlackBoard class website.  Many of our BlackBoard formative assessments will be set up so that students can complete the assessment multiple times and clear up any misunderstandings before our summative assessment.  Students who were not pleased with last week's score can take the assessment again. 

This week, students will complete a more traditional formative assessment on paper.  Students will only receive one attempt on this formative.


Open House

This Friday, North will be hosting an open house from 5:00pm - 7:00pm.  All freshmen teachers will be available in the building from 5:00pm - 6:30pm.  If you would like a chance to connect with me, please see me in room 300.
