This Learning Coach Guide is intended to help you support your learner in their Geometry course. Within this guide, you will find the goals, components, and features of the online course. Please take time to read and review this information so you understand how to help your learner interact with all the course’s elements. The Learning Coach Guide also includes information about each of the units in this course. On each page of unit information, you will discover the following. The Unit Overview will tell you what the focus, content, and skills of the unit will be. The Unit Assessment section is a place for you and your learner to preview the graded work in the course. At the start of each unit, work with your learner to look at the unit in edio and find out which types of graded work are in this unit. Write them in the box and use it as a checklist. You can check off each one as your learner completes it. The Unit Materials section tells you the materials your learner will need to complete the activities in this unit. You will also find the materials list repeated within each lesson so that your learner has exactly what they need at the right time. The Unit Discussion Questions are optional questions that you may want to ask your learner during the unit to increase home and school connections about what your learner is studying. In the Unit Notables section, you may find career connections, calculator tips, ideas to help your learner if they get stuck, or optional activities. CCA wishes you and your learner a terrific school year! Supporting Your Learner Your role as a Learning Coach is very important. Here are a few ways you can help your learner do their very best in the course. Help your learner know what time guided or live class instruction is scheduled for, and prompt them to attend sessions or watch recordings. Remember, it is okay for your learner to get stuck. Learning new material takes time. Encourage them to take breaks, keep trying, and even ask the teacher for help. Help your learner navigate technology. That may mean helping them type information or upload work into edio. Always encourage your learner to do their very best. Review the course syllabus for your learner’s course. Maintain communication with your learner’s teacher. Part B Course Information Part B: Course Information Course Goals This Geometry course is a comprehensive study of geometric concepts, including the basic elements of geometry, proofs, parallel and perpendicular lines, rigid transformations, triangles, similarity, congruence, trigonometry, quadrilaterals, circles, area, and 3D figures. In addition to the topics, students will: understand how to use logical reasoning to solve geometric problems; distinguish between parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines; perform translations, rotations, and reflections in the plane and on a coordinate graph; use the appropriate tools to take accurate measurements and make constructions; solve problems using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem; and explore the properties and characteristics of polygons. Course Format Within the course, there are different components your learner will interact with. These components will not be used every day. Getting Started Lesson: There is one Getting Started lesson in this course. It can be found on Day 1 of Unit 1. This lesson includes important information about the course and contact information for your teacher. Unit Overview: Each unit will include a unit overview. This describes what your learner will learn in the unit and how many assessments the unit will have. Prep for Success: At the beginning of each unit, your learner will find a Prep for Success. This component offers learners tips to be successful in the course, such as study tips, important software information, safety reminders, and more. Knowledge Check: There will be one Knowledge Check in each unit. The Knowledge Check is designed to check prior learning and understanding about key skills and concepts that will be taught in the unit. The Knowledge Check is not a graded assessment. Lesson Bundling A lesson bundle is a collection of lessons that stack up to equal one full class period. On some days, learners will see bundles, such as a Knowledge Check and the daily lesson or the combination of a Quiz Review and Quiz. In Geometry, learners will see a specific bundle of lessons within one day. Warm Up: At the beginning of nearly all math lessons, learners will begin with a Warm Up. This is meant to help learners practice math fluency and understanding of numbers. It may include math thinking routines or a review of prior learning. Explore: This section of the lesson is the new learning for the day. Learners are exposed to vocabulary, lesson instruction, and practice. Practice or Practice and Skill Builder: Most days will include a Practice section or a Practice and Skill Builder section. Practice: Practice problems will be a continuation of the content taught within the Explore section. These practice problems give learners time to practice new skills and review previously learned math concepts. Skill Builder: Within this section, learners are offered the choice of activities, often hands-on or based on digital applications, to extend their understanding of past and present math concepts. Lesson Components Each lesson has its own components to help guide your learner through the lesson. Lesson Overview: At the beginning of every lesson, your learner will see the lesson overview. This section contains lesson objectives, lesson vocabulary, materials your learner will need for the lesson, and the suggested lesson length. This is found on the first page of the Warm Up. Engage: This is the first section of Explore. In this section, learners will be introduced to the lesson by making a connection to past and present knowledge and will get ready for the lesson’s instruction.

Your learner will interact with the lesson content through defined vocabulary terms, videos, audio, and Pause and Think activities. Your learner will be able to practice and answer questions as they work through the lesson. Show: This is the third section of Explore. Learners will demonstrate what they have learned in the lesson through a series of practice questions. Assessment Formats The course includes assignments and projects. These graded assignments allow your learner to show what they have learned and apply their new skills. All CCA assignments and projects include these components. Assessment Overview: At the beginning of each assessment, your learner will see the assessment overview. This section contains the goals of the assessment, materials your learner will need, length of the assessment, and directions for completion. Plan: In the Plan section, learners will be introduced to the assignment or project. Learners may be provided with a review of content from the previous lessons, strategies for completing the activity, graphic organizers, and grading rubrics. Do: Learners put their plan into action and work to complete the assignment or project successfully. This section also provides the grading expectations and/or rubric the teacher will use to grade the work. Reflect: In Reflect, learners will think back to the work they completed. They will reflect upon the experience and analyze how well they completed the task. These moments of reflection are important and allow learners to think about their learning and their work habits. In addition to assignments and projects, this course also includes quizzes and tests. Quiz Review: Before a quiz, learners will have the opportunity to review the content they will be assessed on in a quiz. Quiz: A quiz may be given at the end of a topic or the end of a unit.
