GEOMETRY HONORS

SUMMER ASSIGNMENT 2017

Welcome to Geometry Honors!! Complete the following assignment in the attached packet. This is due the first day of school. Bring in a copy of your answers including ALL WORK SHOWN, to hand in for a grade, This will count as your first test grade (10 points will be taken off for each day late). It will be graded on completeness rather than correctness. This assignment will be reviewed at the beginning of the school year and you will be tested on this material again after it is reviewed. These skills will be needed throughout the year. This is your ticket to Geometry Honors. Make sure that you start the year off well and have your assignment ready upon your return. Please answer all questions in the packet and clearly label your answers by boxing them in. You must show work where appropriate. If you need additional space to complete problems, please do your work on a separate sheet of paper, clearly label your work, and staple your additional pages to the back of the packet.
