Advanced Geometry Syllabus
Mr. Weaver
2008-2009
Textbook:
McDougal-Littell, "Geometry"
Materials:
Students must bring pencils, a 3-ring notebook, paper, a calculator, and
their textbook to class each day. For some lessons, students will need a
compass, a protractor, and a straight edge (ruler). While a simple four
function calculator would be sufficient most of the time, a scientific
calculator with trigonometric functions (TI-34 for example) will be useful later
in this course. A graphing calculator such as the TI-83 or TI-84 is not
necessary for this course.
Grading Policy:
All grades are divided up in four categories, Tests, Quizzes, Homework, and
Flashbacks. Tests count as 50%, Quizzes count as 30%, Homeworks
count as 10%, and Flashbacks counts as 10%. The Test category
will includes exams given at the end of each chapter and the final semester exam.
The Quiz category will include announced and un-announced quizzes.
Homework Policy:
Homework is a critical part of this course and will be assigned regularly.
Students are expected to use the examples and practice problems from their class
notes as well as example problems in the textbook to complete the assignments.
Warm-up Problem Policy:
On most days, we will begin the class with a few review
problems(Flashbacks). These will come from material previously taught in
this course or from material learned in earlier math courses.
Absentee Policy:
Students who are absent should check the bulletin for missed assignments or
check my webpage on the Lafayette website. If you are absent for a test,
then you need to schedule a time to make it up after school. If you miss a
review day, then you will be required to take the test with the rest of the
class, if you are present on the test day. If you skip a test day, then you
will receive a zero percent for that test.
Extra Credit Policy:
You may earn extra credit if your average in the class is 100%. If you
do not have 100, then do not ask for extra credit.
Note:
