What's Going On? June 3rd through June 7th

Preparing for Our Final Exam

For our final exam, students are required to complete sections covering the following three learning targets:

• 3d: Solving Right Triangles (unit 8)
• 3c: Area (units 10 and 11)
• 3g: Volume (unit 11)

Students will also choose at least two additional learning targets:

• 1f: Similar Figures (unit 7)
• 1g: Similar Triangles (unit 7)
• 2d: Dilations (unit 7)
• 3h: Non-Right Triangles (unit 8)
• 2b: Writing Equations of Circles (unit 9)
• 3e: Solving for measurements in circles (unit 9)
• 3f: Circumference & Arc Length (unit 10)
• 2f: Transformations (unit 12)

During class on Monday, we will go over questions from the three required targets.  During class on Tuesday, students can work together and I will go over individual questions on the student-chosen targets.  During the exam, students may use a "cheat sheet": a single piece of 8 1/2" by 11" piece of paper.  The paper must be handwritten and can contain definitions, formulas, sample problems, etc.  The "cheat sheet" will be turned in with the exam.  Students should also bring a calculator, pencil, and ruler/compass if it will be required for their chosen targets.  Our exam is scheduled for Wednesday, June 5th from 9:30am - 11:00am.  Late students may not be permitted to enter the exam.

Students are more than welcome to come in to ask questions during the review/conferencing time in the morning prior to the exam.


Final Exam Schedule

What's Going On? May 27th through May 31st

Honors Geometry Textbook Return

At the beginning of class on Wednesday, we will head to the media center to return our textbooks.  Please be sure to bring your book and your ID.


Probability

This week, we will explore probability.  We will talk about permutations and combinations.  This will be our last "mini unit" of the year prior to our final exam.

Final Exam Schedule

Please note the final exam schedule.  Our Honors Geometry exam will be held on Wednesday, June 5th from 9:30-11:00.  You are more than welcome to come in to ask questions during the review/conferencing time!

What's Going On? May 20th through May 24th

Schedule Change for the Week

This week, North will hold a school-wide Service Learning Day/Community Day on Friday.  Because of this, Monday will be a "Tuesday-style" schedule, Tuesday will be a "Wednesday-style" schedule, Wednesday will be a "Thursday-style" schedule, and Thursday will be a "Friday-style" schedule.  On Friday, all students will be participating in a volunteer activity in the community and/or some sessions at school. 

MAP Testing

This week, students will complete their final MAP testing for the year.  The reading MAP test is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon and the math MAP test is scheduled for Wednesday morning.


Unit 12: Transformations

This week, we will wrap up our unit on transformations.  We will spend Monday's class reviewing for our assessment and complete the summative during class on Tuesday.  This summative will include content related to symmetry, translations, rotations, reflections, and composition of transformations.

What's Going On? May 13th through May 17th

Unit 12: Transformations

This week, we will continue our study of transformations.  Transformations are changes to a figure that preserves the distance between points.  So, our image (resulting figure) will be the same size and same shape as the pre-image (original figure). We will talk about translations (a pick-up and move), rotations (twists), and reflections (mirror images).  We will end the week by talking about compositions of transformations, or in other words, how we can apply multiple transformations to a figure.  To check in, students should expect to see a formative assessment or two this week.

End of the Year Schedule

What's Going On? May 6th through May 10th

Unit 11: Volume


This week, we will be wrapping up our unit on volume.  During class on Monday, we will discuss
how to calculate the volume and surface area of a sphere.  We will then spend one class period reviewing all of our volume and surface area work.  We will have our summative assessment during class on Wednesday.  Additionally, students should be prepared to see our final "geometric vocabulary" assessment for the year.  We have been tracking our understanding of basic geometric terms and concepts throughout the year to chart our growth in knowledge.
