Mr. Vega, Geometry

Course Description

High school geometry is a foundational math course that explores the properties and relationships of shapes, sizes, and figures in space. Students dive into a variety of geometric concepts, including points, lines, angles, triangles, polygons, circles, and three-dimensional figures. Throughout the course, students engage in problem-solving activities, proofs, and real-world applications to understand how geometry is used in various fields.

Geometry - Unit 2

We made it through our first unit in Geometry! We took our first test last Thursday, August 21st. I am excited as this semester progresses because geometry is my favorite subject to teach! It just takes a little bit to ramp up, but we are doing good so far.
 
Unit 2 is all about Reasoning and Proofs. We will learn about:
  • Conditional statements
  • Deductive vs. Inductive reasoning
  • Conjectures, Theorems, and Postulates
  • Algebraic reasoning
  • Proving mathematical theorems
I am hoping to have a project at the end of this unit which will be about 2-3 weeks from now, stay tuned to hear about the details of this project as I am still working through them.

Geometry - Unit 1

We are well under way through our first unit in Geometry which covers many of the basics of geometry. We started by defining points, lines, and planes and playing with how they might interact. We recently learned about midpoint and distance formulas and are applying them to the area and perimeter of polygons in a coordinate plane. I plan to have our first test on Monday, August 25th, it's coming soon! We will wrap up this unit with a good dive into angles, angle pairs, and constructing/measuring angles.
