This course emphasizes applications of geometry. In addition to applications, traditional formal geometry topics include simple triangle proofs, family of quadrilaterals, properties of geometric figures, basic constructions, and transformations. A graphing calculator is strongly recommended. The course culminates in a local final assessment as opposed to a Regents exam. Students successfully completing the course will be prepared to take Algebra 2 or Algebra 2 with Trigonometry.
In the spirit of innovation, this course will be my professional sandbox. Here is where I will explore my own creativity and push our students to be creative problem solvers and hands-on with their mathematics. I will do my best to lean on alternative assessments other than quizzes and tests for students to demonstrate their understanding of concepts where fesible.
