Honors Geometry - Affton School District

Honors Geometry Summer Math Packet Summer 2015
Covering Prerequisite Concepts for Incoming Honors Geometry Students
This summer packet contains exciting math problems designed to ensure your readiness for Honors
Geometry. The topics covered in this packet are concepts that should have been mastered in courses
before entering Honors Geometry.
Show all work that leads you to each solution. Use separate paper, if necessary. You may get help with
this packet from friends, a tutor, the internet, or a teacher; but, please understand that “help” means
having someone explain how to solve the problem, not just simply supplying the answer or copying the
work someone else did. YOU are responsible for understanding the material contained in this packet and
for being able to employ the skills necessary to solve each problem.
All work should be completed and ready to turn in on the first day of school. This packet will count as
part of your first term grade and will be graded on completeness and correctness. You will not be given
credit for problems for which no work is shown. Summer Math Packet test will be given the first full
week of school.
Do a little of your Summer Math Packet each week. You are not expected to do all of it on the first day
or the last week. Your Summer Math Packet will be used to analyze your strengths and weaknesses. If
the work in this packet is too challenging for you, it may be that Honors Geometry will be too
challenging also. Please call the high school Guidance Department if you find yourself needing to switch
out of Honors Geometry.
Students should try to answer all of the questions, if possible. However, a minimum of 97 of the
questions must be answered to receive full credit. So if you really can’t answer certain questions, you
may write the word “pass” on up to 10 of the questions without penalty. (The purpose of this option is
to allow students to show what they know on certain concepts while informing the teacher of concepts
that may need to be reviewed with students after school starts.)
Honor and integrity are at the heart of all Affton Cougars. Smart Cougars never cheat. You are only
hurting yourself by attempting to copy someone else’s work. This packet is to help you be ready for
Honors Geometry, and help your teachers know what you can do. If you should lose your packet, please
email [email protected] for another copy.
Thank you and have a great summer!

Formula Reference Sheet For Geometry Summer Work
Solving Linear Inequalities
 Remember: When you divide both sides by a negative number, flip the inequality symbol.
 Shade the graph greater than or less than when graphing linear inequalities.
Writing Equations of Lines
Slope formula:
(use when given two points.)
Slope-intercept form:
x-intercept: Where the graph crosses the x-axis. (x, 0)
y-intercept: Where the graph crosses the y-axis. (0,y)
Vertical line: slope = undefined; equation is
Horizontal line: slope = 0; equation is
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal (negative-flip) slopes.
Graphing Lines
Slope-Intercept Form:
; where m = slope and b is the y-intercept.
1) Start by graphing the y-intercept on the y-axis.
2) Next, find more points on the line by using the slope.
Vertical lines are x = ____
Horizontal lines are y = ____
Positive slope = the line will rise to the right.
Negative slope = the line will fall to the right.
Solving Quadratic Equations (Quadratic Equations are equations that include an
term.)
1. Solve by factoring: Completely factor the equation and then set each factor = 0, then solve for x.
2. Solve by using the Quadratic Formula:
(the quadratic formula will always work)
