Course Description: Integrated Geometry

This is a full-year course designed for students who have completed Algebra 1. The course will integrate the definitions of Euclidean Geometry in an applied setting. Students will explore these concepts utilizing numeric and algebraic reasoning. Concepts in Analytic Geometry will build on the themes developed in Algebra 1. Proofs in the coordinate plane will present a formal level of mathematical argument using definitions and theorems. The concepts studied in this course are designed to prepare students to take the Geometry Regents examination and meet part of the NY state graduation requirement. To meet the requirements of the Regents program, students will receive training on the use of the TI-84+ graphing calculator.

Topics Covered:

• Geometry Basics
• Angles
• Triangles
• Similarity
• Transformations
• Lines/Line Segments
• Properties of Quadrilaterals
• Coordinate Geometry Proofs
• Trigonometry
• Circles
• Constructions

Homework Policy:

Homework: Homework will be assigned on a daily basis and is graded on competition. Students have until the end of the Unit to complete any missing homework assignments for partial credit. All Homeworks are uploading to OneNote and passed out physically in class.

Grading Policy:

Your quarterly grade will be determined by the following:

Grading Breakdown: 

Test: 50%

Quizzes: 35% 

Homework: 15%

Course Description: Math 7X

This course will prepare the student for the accelerated regent’s program that begins in 8th grade. Students in Accelerated Math 7X will combine the contents of Math 7 and Math 8. In addition, students will be prepared for the state assessment administered each year and will be exposed to the format and content of these questions throughout the year. Students are expected to achieve a minimum average of 85 to remain in the course. If a student’s average drops below an 85, a conference may be held to discuss the student’s status in the program.

Topics Covered:

• Operations with Integers, Fractions and Decimals
• Properties of Rational Numbers
• Operations with Polynomials
• Factoring
• Functions(Linear and Quadratic)
• Graphing Linear functions
• Probability and Statistics
• Geometric Measurement(Perimeter, Area and Volume)
• Linear Inequalities
• Systems of Equations and Inequalities
• Proportional Relationships
• Percents
• Geometry of Angles and Triangles

Homework Policy:

The best way to learn is by practicing. Homework is your time to practice!  I promise to keep homework short, meaningful and effective as long as you keep up your part and DO IT! 

Homework will be checked daily for completeness.  In order to receive full credit on homework, all work must be shown. The correct answer with no work will receive a zero. All homework assignments can be made up for partial credit up until the end of the Unit.

Grading Policy

Quizzes: A quiz will be given periodically throughout each unit. The quizzes will be great study tools for the test at the end of each unit. There will be no retakes or quiz corrections.

Tests: A test will be given at the conclusion of every Unit. Students will receive a study guide or have an in-class review the day before each test. There will be no retakes or test corrections! Grades will be posted to the portal ASAP. Quarterly tests will be given at the end of each quarter and can act as a replacement grade for your lowest test grade in that quarter.

Course Description: Math 7

Math 7 is about developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and drawing inferences about populations. Calculator use helps develop, rather than replace, computational skills. Basic geometric concepts are introduced and intertwined with arithmetic. Probability and statistics are studied to provide real world applications for topics previously covered. Students will be required to demonstrate their knowledge of math through applications. Introductory equation solving is also emphasized. Students will be prepared for the state assessment administered each year and will be exposed to the format and content of these questions throughout the year.

Topics Covered:

• Operations with Integers, Fractions and Decimals
• Properties of Real numbers
• Operations with Polynomials
• Linear Equations and Inequalities
• Graphing Linear equations and Inequalities
• Probability and Statistics
• Geometric Measurement(Perimeter, Area and Volume)
• Proportional Relationships
• Percents
• Geometry of Angles and Triangles

Grading Policy:

*Quizzes: A quiz will be given periodically throughout each unit. The quizzes will be a great study tool for the test at the end of each unit. There will be no retakes or quiz corrections. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped at the end of each quarter.

*Tests: A test will be given at the conclusion of every unit. You will receive a study guide or have an in-class review the day before each test. No Test Corrections are allowed in Math 7. 

*At the end of each quarter, there will be a quarterly review test. This test will replace the lowest test grade that quarter.
