PREREQUISITE: A MINIMUM OF C- OR BETTER IN ALGEBRA I
The study of Geometry requires a solid background in Algebra. Geometry is a language intensive course in which students will investigate relationships and formulate and test hypotheses. Students are required to interpret what they read, develop a working knowledge of new vocabulary, and write observations, conjectures and logical supporting arguments. This course includes many hands-on investigations into the concepts of congruence, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, measurement of polygons and solid figures, transformations, circles, parallelism, perpendicularity, and applications to the real world. Geometric relationships will be investigated through the use of geometric constructions, physical models, and computer simulations.
Possible Next Courses: Algebra II: Functions, Algebra II: Real and Complex Variables/Honors
