Welcome to Geometry! Mr. Flynn Ms. Myers

Reasons why you will be successful this year: Move slowly. Incredible Instruction. Geometry is visual/hands on.

Structure of the class First thing: Objective of the class will be on the board. If someone comes into the room and asks, “What are you learning today?”, the Objective written on the board is your answer.

If you mentioned any of the term below, you are right! Points Lines Segments Planes Shapes (circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, etc., many of which are polygons) Area Perimeter Angles Measurement Parallel/perpendicular Pythagorean Theorem Surface area Volume If you said “hard”, “impossible” or “dumb” – you are WRONG!

What is geometry? Let’s brainstorm what we know about geometry.
