GeometryÂ
Geometry with Data Analysis is the first of three required courses in high school mathematics, providing a common Grade 9 experience for all students entering high school level mathematics. This course develops mathematical knowledge and skills through visual representations prior to the more abstract development of algebra. Beginning high school mathematics with Geometry with Data Analysis in Grade 9 offers students the opportunity to build their reasoning and sense-making skills, see the applicability of mathematics, and prepare more effectively for further studies in algebra. Topics covered include transformations, congruence, similarity, and coordinate geometry with an emphasis on reasoning, proof, and justification. Students will also perform algebraic calculations with specific application to geometry and will focus on data analysis to provide students with tools to describe, show, and summarize data in the world around them.
**Honors Geometry (If You Took Accelerated Math in 7th and 8th Grade)
Honors Geometry, like other Honors courses, explore more class topics in greater detail at a faster pace. Students enrolled in this course plan to pursue AP, Math dual enrollment, or other upper level Math courses.
**If you did not take Accelerated Math in both 7th AND 8th grade, but want to pursue a higher level Math track, you would enroll in both Geometry and Algebra I for your Freshman year.
