Prerequisite: Algebra 1, Grade Level(s): 8-10

Geometry uses logic and critical thinking skills in the exploration of the properties of points, lines, planes, circles, polygons, and solids in two and three dimensions. Students will look comprehensively at parallel and perpendicular lines, the coordinate plane, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, congruence and similarity, surface area, volume and transformations through the use of proofs and hands-on explorations. The course provides an introduction to trigonometric concepts through the relationships of right triangles.
