  1. Welcome to Geometry! Mrs. Reilly Pd 2, 4, 6, 7

  2. Introduction • Who is this person attempting to teach your teenager about proofs and shapes?? • Education/Work Background: • BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from WVU in the late 1980s. • Worked in nuclear and telecommunications industry for 12 years. • Returned to school for teaching certification from University of Pittsburgh • Began teaching at Norwin in 2010 • I currently teach Physics II and Geometry

  3. Course Overview • Geometry isn’t actually just about “shapes”! • We cover the following topics: • Points, lines, planes, angles • Proofs (yes, we will all survive proofs!) • Congruent and similar triangles • Pythagorean Theorem • Trigonometry • Shapes • Circles

  4. Course Rigor • This is a high-school level mathematics class. We are not in middle school anymore, and this is not a remedial course. • Students need to participate actively, put forth appropriate effort on homework, seek help when needed. • Tutoring is available every MONDAY after school, in the library. (I try to schedule quizzes/tests on Tuesday when possible)

  5. Communication • Email is best! sreilly@norwinsd.org • Skyward! • Traveling teachers are difficult to reach by phone. You can try 724-861-3805 but it rings in a room that I am not in very often. • Your child can find me: • Homeroom 230 before school • Office 205A after school

  6. Communication, cont’d • How about texting? • I have a website which allows me to send out mass-texts to parents. To participate: Text @REILLYGEOMETRY to (818) 351-7905 • I won’t see your cell # and you won’t see mine. I am setting this up with the students as well.

  7. Speaking of texting…. • Norwin has wireless now and a BYOD policy. • We will use technology as often as we can in class. • Ready to try it out?? • (All you need is a phone that can text.)
