Geometry consists of the study of coordinate and transformational geometry; logical argument and constructions; proof and congruence; similarity, proof, and trigonometry; two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures; circles; and probability. Use of mathematical processes to acquire and demonstrate mathematical understanding are emphasized. Students are expected to use these processes together with graphing calculator technology and other mathematical tools to develop conceptual understandings and solve problems.
