    I am so excited about having your child in my class this year! Your child’s success and overall well-being is
    very important to me. I hope this year will be the best experience your child has had in a math class. I strive to
    make understanding math fun and easy. We will be working hard every day in this class trying to challenge
    students’ minds in problem solving and higher ordered thinking. I believe that parent/teacher communication
    is not only an integral part of a student’s success, but it is vital! Please feel free to contact me at any time.
    Sincerely,
    Stephanie Sullivan

    COURSE DESCRIPTION: Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement, properties and
    relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. The word means (geo) earth (metry) measure. Geometry also
    deals with logic. Using inductive and deductive reasoning is an integral part of geometric thinking. Geometry is
    closely connected to other branches of mathematics such as Algebra, Logic, Probability, and Trigonometry. Real life
    applications of geometry will be evident throughout the course

    Fall Semester: Basics of Geometry, Reasoning and Proofs, Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, Transformations,
    Congruent Triangles, Relationships within Triangles

    Spring Semester: Quadrilaterals and other Polygons, Similarity, Right Triangles and Trigonometry, Circles,
    Circumference and Area, Surface Area and Volume, Probability.
