Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I CC.
Geometry is the second course in the Regents mathematics sequence for high school students. The purpose of this course is to satisfy the Geometry requirement of the Common Core Standards adopted by New York State. Within this course, students will have the opportunity to make conjectures about geometric situations and prove, in a variety of ways, both formal and informal, that a conclusion follows logically from their hypothesis. This course is meant to employ an integrated approach to the study of geometric relationships. Geometry is meant to lead students to any understanding that reasoning and proof are fundamental aspects of mathematics and something that sets it apart from the other sciences. This class is taught using a 1 period/2 period (A/B days) format so that students receive 39 additional minutes of instruction every other day. The use of graphing calculators is an integral part of this course and owning a Texas Instruments graphing calculator (TI-84 minimum) is most helpful. Students will take the Geometry Common Core Regents exam in June.
