 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * We all know that shapes are everywhere. If you like working with different shapes such as triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, circles, parallelograms, trapezoids and diamonds. We will work with solving problems about shapes using only a little information about them. Did you know that with certain triangles, by only knowing one of the angles and one of the sides, you can find out how long the other two sides and other angle is? Carpenters and construction workers who build houses and make things we use everyday use some of the tools you will learn like the Pythagorean Theorem. We will also look into all different types of four sided shapes as well and learn how to solve for different equations. Students will preform a project where they take the roll of a lawyer and solve the cases for different crimes civilians have. We will incorporate technology into our classroom as well. We will use programs on the internet like Turtle Geometry and the Cob Web Plot to further understand the concepts in this class. Who knows, if you can handle it appropriately, you might even get to use your cell phone. So welcome new class to Mr. Haney's geometry class. ||
