Geometry

Geometry - 1 credit

This course is a study of visual patterns and how they describe the physical universe and represent mathematical concepts. Topics include measurement formulas; geometric and spatial visualization; drawing skills; properties of congruence and similarity; proof; right triangle trigonometry; properties of plane and solid figures; and different applications. Students utilize inductive and deductive reasoning and examine concepts from transformational, synthetic, coordinate, and vector approaches. Required for both Jump Start and TOPS University diplomas. Culminates with the LEAP 2025 Assessment.

(Prerequisite: Algebra 1)

Pre-AP Geometry - 1 credit

In addition to emphasizing the same mathematical concepts as Geometry, this course promotes a higher level of mathematical understanding, with technology and other resources used as tools to explore and apply geometric concepts. Complex proofs and other advanced geometric topics are included. Can substitute for Geometry. Culminates with the LEAP 2025 Assessment.

(Prerequisites: Algebra 1 with a grade of A or B, Honors criteria/Teacher recommendation)
