PREREQUISITE: A MINIMUM OF C- IN ALGEBRA I HONORS OR B+ OR BETTER IN ALGEBRA I, OR CONFERENCE WITH DEPARTMENT HEAD

Geometry is a language intensive course. The focus of this course is to develop deductive reasoning skills that will allow students to construct logical mathematical arguments, and to improve each student’s ability to visualize and understand abstract concepts. There is a significant emphasis on formal proof. Students are required to interpret what they read, to learn and use new vocabulary, and to write observations, conjectures and supporting arguments. This course treats geometry thematically by examining such topics as congruence, similarity, volume, and surface area of three-dimensional figures, transformations, parallelism and perpendicularity, coordinate geometry, circles and right triangle trigonometry. Students are expected to apply knowledge of both algebra and geometry to new and different situations. Geometric relationships will be investigated through the use of construction as a geometric tool, physical models, algebraic models and computer simulations.

Possible Next Courses: Algebra II: Functions, Algebra II: Real and Complex Variables/Honors
