What must I know before I go onto Geometry next year?

Tabitha Ramone: What must I know before I go onto Geometry next year?
In 9th Grade (last year) I studied Algebra and in 10th I’ll be going on to Geometry. My school didn’t finish up studying Algebra and we just did 2/3 of our course because there wasn’t enough time to finish it. I’m really worried that next year I won’t know certain things that I should have learned this year. Does anyone know what I should study, and does anyone have any tips on where I could study? Thanks so much!

Well I don’t know what are the exam patterns of your school
here in India there is a class 10 board examination after which there is a 1 month holiday I suggest you finish the remaining parts during that time so that you will not be lagging behind for the next year.

Hope you like my suggestion and best of Luck!!

Don’t worry
Geometry has nothing to do with algebra. I didn’t do that great in algebra but I was one of the top students in geometry. In geometry there is a small section about equations of lines and whether they are parallel and perpendicular and that is about it…plus you will be re-taught how to find slope and things like that.
I found geometry to be way easier than algebra, just make sure to do your homework and pay attention to the teacher and you will be fine.
If you are still worried about the course, just study the book before hand or look at this website…thought it might help

Don’t worry and good luck! 🙂

Theoretically, one can study geometry without any algebra, as the ancient Greeks did. In fact, this is how many high school geometry courses are run. Others emphasize the connections between algebra and geometry – coordinate or Cartesian geometry. Some high school geometry classes take both approaches.

You should be familiar with lines (and their equations), proportions, and to some extent parabolas.

When I was in high school, the school let me borrow textbooks over the summer since nobody was using them. You may be able to schedule a meeting or phone talk with your teacher or math department chair if you or your parents call the school and express your concerns. Otherwise, you can find standard texts at your local library or for cheap in older editions online.
