Geometry

East Hamilton High School

Mr. Nomura

Course Description

This course includes an in-depth analysis of plane, solid, and coordinate geometry as they relate to both abstract mathematical concepts as well as real-world problem situations. Topics include logic and proof, parallel lines and polygons, perimeter and area analysis, volume and surface area analysis, similarity and congruence, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. Emphasis will be placed on developing critical thinking skills as they relate to logical reasoning and argument. Students will be required to use different technological tools and manipulatives to discover and explain much of the course content.

Classroom Policies

  1. Disciplinary procedures will be enforced in accordance with the East Hamilton Student and Faculty Handbooks per Hamilton County Department of Education protocol.
  2. Late work is unacceptable and will be penalized by a 10% reduction on the final grade of the assignment. Late work will not be accepted after the completion of a unit.
  3. No work, no grade, no joke! Assignments submitted with no evidence of work or insufficient amounts of work done may be penalized by a reduction in grade or not accepted.
  4. Electronic devices are permitted in my classroomand may only be used when given permission to do so. All devices should be put in your assigned cell phone cubbies.
  5. Food and drink are allowed in my classroom as long as my room remains clean.
