What's Going On? June 1st through June 5th

Wrapping Up Unit 13: Probability


Welcome to the last week of the school year!  This week, students will complete the probability
review on Monday and Tuesday of this week.  Our summative assessment is scheduled for Wednesday.  Students have until Thursday to complete and submit any missing work for the semester.  I will be calculating final semester grades during the day on Friday.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.  I am here to help!

I have really enjoyed working with you this year.  Have a great summer!  I hope to see you soon!

What's Going On? May 26th through May 29th

Our Final Unit: Probability

This week, we will begin our final unit on Probability.  Earlier this year, before winter break, we had a couple of days where we began our study of probability: the likelihood that an event will occur.  We will spend our last two weeks of the school year digging in a little deeper.  This week, we will focus in on Permutations, Combinations, and the Probability of Compound Events.  This will leave our review and last summative assessment for the year to take place during the final week of the year.

What's Going On? May 18th through May 21st

Wrapping Up Unit 12: Transformations

This is a very short unit and we are already preparing to wrap it up!  Monday's video lesson is on our last topic: the composition of transformations.  In other words, applying more than one transformation to get to our final image.  On Tuesday, we will have our traditional review assignment, and Wednesday will be our summative.  Please reach out if you have any questions.  I am here to help!

Looking Ahead: Schedule Changes

Friday, May 22nd is a "work day" for teachers and an "off day" for students.  Monday, May 25th is Memorial Day, so we will not have school.  This means that the remainder of that week (Tuesday through Friday), we will have school.  We will not have our "catch up" day on Friday, instead, we will have our regularly scheduled classes.  For the purposes of our Honors Geometry class, we will "meet" Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Please Note: Our last day of school will be Friday, June 5th.

What's Going On? May 11th through May 15th

Unit 12: Transformations

This week we will begin our twelfth unit on transformations.  We will specifically focus on "rigid-transformations", or transformations that result in figures that are the same size and same shape.

We have three lessons for the week focusing on symmetry, translations & vectors, and reflections & rotations.  With each lesson, students should view our video lesson and complete the notes template.  There is also a homework assignment and a formative check-in.  I have scheduled a lesson for Monday through Wednesday of this week to help with pacing, but students are "on pace" for our class if all work is completed by Friday.  Attendance for the day will be taken based on work completion and can be adjusted through Friday.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.  I am here to support you and your learning!

What's Going On? May 4th through May 8th

Wrapping Up Unit 11: Surface Area and Volume

This week, we will wrap up our 11th unit on Surface Area and Volume.  Monday and Tuesday will be devoted to reviewing for our summative assessment. There is a review assignment posted on Blackboard and Class Kick that has been assigned and will be entered into the grade book.

There is also an optional Kahoot Challenge that will take place through 5pm on Tuesday.  Rumor has it that Mr. Syverson's Honors Geometry students will also join us for this challenge.  Who wants to claim bragging rights for the highest score?  Head on over to kahoo.it and enter in challenge code 03490070 or click on this link to play: https://kahoot.it/challenge/03490070?challenge-id=7156a0b7-b499-4b27-804e-40a210a2b6cc_1588189890728

Our summative assessment is scheduled for Wednesday's class.  Please be sure to complete both parts of the summative.  One is on "surface area" and the other is on "volume".  With our "catch up day" on Friday, it is expected that all summatives are completed by the end of the day on Friday.
