Algebra Practice
Welcome to your Geometry class! This course is the second in a five-year sequence of college preparatory mathematics courses. The course curriculum is aligned with the California Common Core State Standards. It emphasizes several big ideas in an integrated algebra/geometry context. The key concepts addressed in this course are:
- Transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, dilation) and symmetry
- Relationships between figures (such as similarity and congruence)
- Properties of plane figures (such as equal or perpendicular sides or diagonals)
- Measurements of plane figures (such as area, perimeter, and angle measure)
- Measurements of three-dimensional shapes (such as volume and surface area)
- Tools for analyzing and measuring shapes (such as the Pythagorean Theorem, trigonometric ratios, the Laws of Sine and Cosine, and coordinate geometry)
- Investigation and proof (having found patterns, students conjecture and prove)
- Geometric construction (with compass and straightedge)
- Algebra (with substantial review of writing and solving equations and graphing)
- Probability
Football is not learned by silently watching others play. Likewise, the only way you can become good at math is by doing problems and talking about them. If you do both, you will learn math. Hence, you must have the willingness and maturity to study & complete assignments every night. Furthermore, you will find that math is not only useful; it is fun.
Because you will be working in study teams, you are expected to:
- develop your ability to contribute to and benefit from working together in study teams
- bring your textbook or eDevice, calculator and well-organized notebook to class EVERY DAY;
- ask questions of others in your study team when you do not understand; and
- be responsible for understanding all the work all year.
Please be sure to read the Course Syllabus, (pdf is on the right), and return the bottom of the Notebook Assignment (pdf is on the right) signed by both the student and the parent. Students are required to keep a copy of the syllabus in their notebook, under the Assignment Sheets section.
Here are Some Things You May Find Helpful
Technology ResourcesThis Geometry curriculum includes many lessons that make use of technology capabilities in the classroom. Through the use of dynamic geometry software (Desmos, Geometers Sketchpad, and Cabri Jr.) you will see geometry through a dynamic environment that facilitates understanding, exploring, and conjecturing. Click here to see videos and a list of eTools to access them.
Parent SupportClick here for a website that offers support for Parents of Core Connections Geometry Students.
- The Parent Guide for Core Connections Geometry discusses the main ideas of each chapter, offers several solved examples, and provides hundreds of additional practice problems (with answers).

take MLC survey.
Thank you for taking the spring 2016 student engagement survey for the MLC project.
This link will remain live until the end of the school day on Friday, April 22nd.
http://bit.ly/spring2016student
The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Once you open the survey, you will be prompted to enter your 9-digit District Student ID #. You will also be asked you type of school (high school), school name (Culver City HS) and my name (Marsh). This information allows SmartStart to remove survey responses of student's without parental permission from the data set. All other responses are confidential and reported in aggregate form.
Please also note, if you accidentally click out of the survey, all of your responses will be lost. Because this is a general link, if you are taking the survey and accidentally close it without finishing, you will not be able to go back to the same place where you left off. You can use the link again; you will just have to restart the survey from the beginning. Please note you should only exit the survey when you see the words "Thank you" on a page by itself. This happens after you click a button with the words "Finish" on them.
If you have time, you may also take the Centaur+ Survey:

In class took a Quick Check on CC3: Coordinate Geometry, if you missed it, take it at home for 10 minutes in pencil. It is attached here. Then, scroll down, look at the prompts to see if for the next 5 minutes you can continue and finish up the questions using a different colored pencil or pen. Then, grade your own paper, using the rubric (included in the attachment) using a different color such as red. Then turn this in to your Course Portfolio. You will include it in your Course Portfolio where you will write about it and the other Quick Checks that you have done. (Recall, you have one from first semester in your first semester stuff).

Results for the Unit 0 Individual Test or MDTP Geometry Readiness Test were given out today. You may retake the Unit 0 Individual Test or MDTP Geometry Readiness Test any time after school after you have done some work to study and prepare. Use some of the resources provided on the website.
At the beginning of the year students take a diagnostic test for their preparedness for geometry. The test is from the UC/CSU system’s Math Diagnostic Testing Project (MDTP). CSU Fullerton posts some practice tests with example problems at their site here.
All students were given a review packet of Algebra I topics. Four days had assignments from this packet as we read the student Mathographies in class. This was all review from their Algebra I class last year, but I realize many students have forgotten different things over the summer. Hence, I did not teach lessons, (that would waste their time for an entire period if the student didn't need that topic while needing another topic.) Instead, I trusted the students to be able to use the packet and other resources I have on my webpage at the High School website to help them study what they had forgotten. The next 5 assignments were in class activities on the different geometry topics we would be studying this year to prepare them for what is coming and there was also some algebra review in those assignments. The topics in the table below are what the test covers. It is all review from previous years’ courses. For much older math, and even some algebra, students can use this as an aid: http://cchs.ccusd.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=166627&type=u&pREC_ID=434038 Another suggestion is the resources posted here: http://cchs.ccusd.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=166627&type=u&pREC_ID=201242 which included last year's Algebra I textbook. Also the Study Guide and Intervention (5563.0K) (linked here) that the textbook provided is an excellent resource.
The test is just a diagnostic test to see how prepared they are for Geometry. The test covers 6 topics that the UC/CSU system considered important for success in geometry when their Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project developed this test.
Below I have listed the topics, and the problems on that topic. I have also listed how many questions (items) there is for that topic and how many need to be correct to have the topic considered “mastered.”
I graded the test out of 32, not 45 to get the students to actually try their best. 32 are how many problems they should have gotten correct to be considered prepared for this course.
I ask that you both sit down together and review the results. Go through each topic and see if the items for the topic were marked correct or incorrect. Then see if enough items were correct for “mastery” to be considered achieved for that topic. If it was not, discuss why this was the case.
Then your student should seek additional assistance on their weak areas. After they have done this, and has a signed note verifying this (from a parent, a tutor, or the peer tutoring program teacher here at CCHS) they can retake the test after school. I will replace the grade with the new one. My goal here is that every student recalls all that they previously learned that is needed for success in this course. There is no time limit, other than the semester.

It might be a good idea to consider attempting some extra practice for a topic that was not “mastered.” Also, if time was an issue during the test, it would be a good idea to attempt some extra practice with the goal of becoming faster. Each problem should have been able to be completed in about 30 - 45 seconds. On my CCHS webpage is listed extra practice and more can be found within the textbook. Also, many stores sell workbooks with extra practice. Here is a link to a practice test with explanation for each topic area.
