Geometry PAP: Summer Preparation Packet- 2
Name: ____________________________________________
Hello and welcome to Pre-AP Geometry! In order to be successful in a Pre-AP Geometry course
at the high school level, a student needs to be proficient with the material covered in Algebra I.
This packet highlights those skills obtained in Algebra I that are used most often in Pre-AP
Geometry as well as basic geometry topics learned in middle school math course. During the
school year, other Algebra I-based skills that may not be covered in this packet will be
necessary for success in Pre-AP Geometry class, but this packet should serve as a guide to the
skills considered most vital. It is recommended that incoming Pre-AP Geometry students
complete this packet during the summer and review it prior to entering their high school
geometry course in the fall. Additionally, links are included to assist with tutorials should they be
needed.
We will go over questions you may have over the material in the first few days, and will be given
a Major Test over the information in this packet during the second week of school. This will count
as your first major grade for Pre-AP Geometry. The grade you score on this test will be an
indicator of how prepared you will be for the rigor of this course.
Pre-AP Geometry moves at a fast pace, requires memorization of formulas, definitions,
theorems, and postulates as well as other information throughout the course. Homework is
assigned every night and reviewing class notes daily is expected. If you are not committed to
this rigor and dedication, then this level of class may not be for you.
The Pre-AP Geometry team looks forward to meeting you and facilitating your success through
Pre-AP Geometry!
