3. A Little Bit About Honors Geometry
For many students, learning Geometry is similar to learning a new language.
Proofs are often difficult for students to grasp at the beginning of the course.
Generally, marking periods 1 and 2 are more difficult than 3 and 4.
Geometry is included on the SAT.

4. My Teaching Philosophy
My ultimate goal is to give your child the self confidence necessary to be successful.
I am very enthusiastic about math. It is my sincere hope that some of this enthusiasm will be passed on to your child.

5. Keys to Success Warm Ups Notes – (I suggest a binder!) Homework
Studying
Asking for Help – (Clinic room 265)

6. Grading
Midterm/Final 25%
Homework 5%
Other – (tests/quizzes/Projects)

7. Return of Assessments Policy
All assessments are graded and returned in a timely fashion.
I go over the assessments with the class, touching upon common difficulties.
Students are then given the opportunity to ask questions regarding the assessment.
I collect the tests and keep them until everyone has taken it
Assessments can be taken home upon request.
District assessments, i.e. midterms and finals, are not returned.
