Welcome to the study of Geometry! You have a summer extra credit
opportunity to help strengthen your skills. Please read the information
below carefully.
Assignments are to be completed on the worksheets that are provided. Be
sure to place your name on the top of each paper. Keep your assignments in
a folder that has clips (duo-tangfolder). The assignments
should be in order from the first to the last.
You work should be neat and legible. Show all work on the paper. If more
space is needed you may use loose leaf paper. The file titled links is a
resource for help on the topics. Most of the help links will take you to
Purple Math. This is a great site and will provide you with examples and
lessons to help you complete assignments. You can search Google for other
help. Don’t buy anything; there is plenty of free help out there on the
web (click for list of math websites).
The booklet containing all of your assignments should be ready to turn in
the first day of class. Come to class prepared to start working!
You will need loose leaf paper, graph paper (4x4 or 3x3), pencils, erasers
and a binder (1 or 1 ½ inch) with dividers to keep your materials
organized. A scientific calculator is a must for geometry. A
graphing calculator is nice but not needed until algebra II. We use Texas
Instruments graphing calculators here at Mandarin High School. If you
should buy a new TI (scientific or graphing) calculator, you should save
the UPC for extra credit! Many stores will have them on sale in August.
The geometry teachers look forward to seeing you next August!
