Geometry

Course Description

This class is a required course for students intending to move on to precalculus. This class introduces new material with a review of algebra skills in context of geometry concepts. This class will be taught at a less rigorous pace. This standard first course in geometry covers the required concepts of Euclidean geometry including definitions, postulates, and theorems. Areas of study include angles, parallel lines, congruent and similar triangles, rectilinear figures, polygons, circles and arc, and the Pythagorean Theorem. Special topics covered include spatial geometry, introductory trigonometry, and construction. Its content builds and connects synthetic and transformational approaches. Points, lines, planes, similarity, congruence, and other relationships in plane and solid geometry are organized and developed as a deductive mathematical system.
