Instructor: Jonas Ankrom, Sewickley Academy Senior School Mathematics Teacher Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I, including mastery of radical expressions. This is a regular geometry course, not an honors course, but due to the limited period, some students will find the pace of the course challenging. Students will explore Euclidean and solid geometries, emphasizing plan geometry. Topics include logic and proofs, polygons, perimeter and area, surface area and volume, and similar shapes (ratio and proportion). The Data Analysis topics of study include: Classifying and visually representing data, descriptive statistics including measures of central tendency and measures of spread, and methods of sampling. Lessons and homework assignments will challenge students to apply these concepts, developing inductive and deductive logical reasoning skills. Students will earn one credit towards Senior School graduation by completing this five-week course. Visiting students are responsible for verifying that their schools will accept credit for the course. Vacations/Missed Classes: If a student needs to miss due to a vacation, they should inform the instructor before the class begins. Students who miss are still responsible for all tests and homework. Withdrawal/Refund Policy: To cover an entire year of Geometry in 5 weeks (24 classes), the course moves quickly. Again, students that struggle in math may find the pace of this course challenging. Students who formally withdraw by the THIRD DAY of class will receive a 67% refund. After the third day, no refunds are given. Text: Glencoe McGraw-Hill Geometry by Boyd, Cummins, Malloy, Carter, and Flores, 2008 Dates: The class will meet Monday - Friday, beginning June 15th to July 17th, No class on July 3rd.
