Project:  Term 1

 

The project for Term 1 will be the Geometry Class Notebook that will be evaluated at stages throughout the term (total points possible from 50 to 100).  It is the desire of p3 that you work hard at this so that this notebook will be a valuable reference for you not only for Term 1 but throughout the school year.  There is a great deal of information in Geometry.  It is not expected of you to memorize all of it but it is expected of you to have it in your organized notebook for quick reference. You will be able to use this notebook on all quizzes and tests including the mid-year and final exams, therefore it is imperative that you maintain a well-kept, organized, complete notebook.  It is your life-line to success in this class … it is strongly suggested that you take this task seriously!!

 

The Geometry Class Notebook will consist of the following:

 

1.     The class notebook will be a three-ring binder for Geometry only.  In this binder the student will place:

a.     Mandatory:  The syllabus as the first page.

b.     Mandatory:  A section for each chapter separated by well defined “dividers” and all work in that section placed in sequential order.

c.      Recommended:  This handout as the fourth page.

d.     Recommended:  The grading policy as the second page.

e.      Recommended:  The late work policy as the third page.

 

2.     The student is expected to bring this notebook to every math class.  The student can not leave class to retrieve the notebook from their locker.

 

3.     The class notebook can be evaluated at any time and points will be awarded for the notebook being complete and neat in addition to the specifications on this sheet.  If the notebook is not in class during a spot-evaluation, zero points will be given. 

 

4.     There will be a final evaluation at the end of the term worth 50 points.
