Welcome to Honors Geometry
There is a focus throughout the course on developing students’ ability to carry out key mathematical processes. These processes should become the natural way in which students come to understand and do mathematics. While—depending on the content to be understood or on the problem to be solved—a variety of mathematical processes might be brought to bear, some processes may prove more useful than others. In a high school geometry course, communication, reasoning, and justification are particularly important, as are modeling, the appropriate selection and use of mathematical tools and strategies, and precision of language
