Summer Packet Info

Hey guys! Geometry!

Here is some stuff from the summer packet we got at the end of the year:

You will be more successful if you . . .
- are very organized
- keep old notes
- complete all homework on time
- meet and work with study groups regularly
- communicate (specifically email) teacher often to get help
- take full responsibility for their understanding of the material

The supplies you need are . . .
- a scientific calculator which has trig functions(sine, cosine, tangent, etc.)
- a thin set of at least 5 colored markers for labeling diagrams (recommended: Staedtler, Paper Mate, Flair 0.3 mm)
- a high quality metal compass (recommended: Staedtler)
- a protractor
- a ruler
- a binder with 5 dividers exclusively for geometry class
- graph paper
- at least 50 sheets of unlined 8x11.5 colored paper, all of a single color [ we may want to get a multicolored ream to split, each person gets a color ]

 Some things I noticed while reading the packet . . .
- we are not required to have a graphing calculator
- we are not allowed to use cell phones as calculators
- you can't get full credit on homework if there are errors in problems (!)
- if you score a 2 or 1 on any exam, you are required to get weekly tutoring until the next exam and are required to come in after school to retake that exam
- you are required to have all materials on first day of school

 I can't wait to see you guys at school! I hope we can have at least a bit of fun during geometry this year!

P.S. Does anyone know how to get the area of a trapezoidal prism???
