Welcome to Mrs. White’s Geometry class! I am so excited about getting to know you. Geometry is a mathematics class dealing with shapes, area, volume, angle measure, and reasoning skills. It is a class used to cultivate the logical thinking skills of the students. This course will consist of lectures, classwork, homework, and projects that comprehensively discuss topics related to geometry.  You can be successful in geometry and have fun by asking questions and not getting behind in your work.

I require each student to bring a 3-ring binder, loose-leaf paper, calculator, and pencil to class each day.  Each student is assigned a book to keep at home and a classroom set of books is available for use during class.  Expectations for behavior and procedures for make-up work are outlined in the syllabus that each student has received.

Geometry homework is given on a regular basis. Work is assigned out of the book daily except before tests. A project is assigned each nine weeks. Occasionally, worksheets are sent home to be completed for review before tests. Each homework assignment is reviewed in class and collected to be graded based on effort, not accuracy. Students are asked to circle any problems that give them trouble so we can cover them together the following day. Students must show their work to get credit on homework and tests.

Grades are determined by the accumulation of points on tests, quizzes, projects, classwork, and homework.  Students must complete homework daily to keep from falling behind.  Students will receive a progress report in the middle of each 9 week session that shows grades up to that point. 

Being available to answer your questions and being easy to reach is important to me. I have provided my contact information at the bottom of this page. I can be reached by phone during my planning period and check e-mail throughout the day if you have any questions or concerns or would like to set up a conference. I look forward to an exciting year!

Sincerely,

Kate White
