What's Going On? Monday September 28th through Friday October 2nd

Unit 2: Logic & Reasoning

This week, we will be wrapping up our second unit where we have been learning about logic and reasoning.  At the beginning of the week (Monday and Tuesday), we will focus on how to write a two-column proof that is based around Geometry.  On Wednesday, students will begin to prepare for our summative assessment which will take place during class on Thursday.  In order to best prepare for our Unit 2 summative, students should make sure that all of their homework is turned in on Thursday before we complete the summative assessment.  On Friday, we will begin our third unit where we will focus on the study of parallel lines.

This week, we will continue our synchronous instruction.  That means that students who are learning virtually from home will be able to join our class "live" via WebEx teams.  Students should join in during our regularly scheduled class time.  

All of our assignments and course materials can be found on our Blackboard class website.  Students who need some additional help understanding concepts or who have questions should reach out within our WebEx teams app to get the fastest response for academic questions.

Unit 2: Reasoning and Proof

This week, we will begin unit 2 where we will study reasoning and proof.  We will start out the week by learning about logical reasoning, including conditional statements, converse statements, and biconditionals.  The study of these statements will help us to properly some of the geometric theorems and postulates that we will encounter throughout the course.

We will also look at two different ways to form a logical argument: using inductive reasoning to form a indirect proof and how we can use deductive reasoning to create a two-column proof.  Both of these methods can be used to craft a formal argument where we justify our reasoning.  We will end the week with a formative assessment to check our current level of understanding.

With this unit, I will be hosting a "live" lesson during each of our class days.  Students who are working from home should join the lesson through WebEx teams during our scheduled class time.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.  I know the transition to hybrid learning can be difficult. I am here to help!

What's Going On? Monday September 14 through Friday September 18, 2020

Please Note: All classes will have a "live" lesson within WebEx teams during our Monday scheduled class time.  Please use the WebEx teams app (available in Self Service on student iPads) to join the lesson!

Wrapping Up Honors Geometry Unit 1: Basics of Geometry

This week, we will be wrapping up our first unit of the year.  We will meet "live"online in Webex Teams on Monday (12:44-1:27) to have our deductive reasoning lesson.  This week will also include a video lesson on Classifying Polygons and an in-class lesson on Connecting Geometry to the Coordinate Plane (the distance and midpoint formulas).  We will finish up the week with a review on Thursday.  This review day will be a "live" lesson for students in both cohorts to go through any questions they have.  Students can also use the "Class Kick" app to get some additional help.   Our first summative assessment on Friday.  

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support your learning.  I am here to help!

What's Going On? September 8th through September 11th

 Unit 1: Basics of Geometry

This week, we will continue our study of the basics of Geometry.  Topics for the week will include

• The Segment and Angle Addition Postulates
• Measurement
• Geometric Constructions
• STUDENTS WILL NEED A COMPASS AND RULER FOR THIS ACTIVITY!!!

Towards the end of the week, all students will do a vocabulary review activity and complete our first formative assessment on Blackboard.
