GEOMETRY Summer School 2010 @ Orinda Academy Teacher: Bob Shayler |
![]() |
Course Overview:
This is a standard college preparatory geometry course and satisfies a Cal State / UC entry requirement. The text book used is “Geometry” published by Prentice-Hall © 2009. One copy will be available for loan for the duration of the summer course.
The major topics covered in the course include: points, lines, planes and shapes; use of geometry tools; perimeters and areas; reasoning and proofs; parallel and perpendicular lines; congruent shapes, triangles; quadrilaterals (names and properties); similarities; right triangles and introduction to trigonometry; areas of shapes, surface areas, and volumes; properties of circles.
Requirements for Students:
Each student must have and be able to use in class each day a metric ruler, protractor, compass, calculator and rectangular graph paper.
Assignments will be required to be completed each day. There will be a couple of quizzes and one test each week. There will be a final exam at the end of each of the two terms of the summer session. No course credit can be earned if a student has more than three absences for any reason.
Assignments will be available in print, online and by email. Contact with the teacher should be done by email:
