This geometry course will be teaching fundamental geometric concepts, logic and reasoning, construction,
coordinate geometry, and proof writing. The course consists of traditional lessons and practice problems as well as
construction labs, investigations, and semi-weekly tests. The student will also be exposed to sample End-ofCourse (EOC) exam practice questions and test-taking strategies for the Geometry EOC preparation.

Progress Criteria/Methods of Evaluation:
Copy and paste this information into WINGS offsite class
For all learning activities, formative assessment will be conducted throughout the duration of the course and noted
in the monthly progress. Summative assessments will be scheduled as deemed appropriate in content and skill
areas where a summative assessment aids the teacher and parent to determine the student’s progress. Timelines for
student work samples and progress reviews are outlined in the Learning Activities section of this learning plan.
This student is on a continuous progress, individualized assessment schedule that is reviewed and modified as
needed. The POD teacher is the certificated teacher responsible for the student’s WSLP, including the on-going
review of all on-site and off-site classes.
