Course Description: The prerequisite for Geometry CP is Algebra I CP or its equivalent. Geometry is the mathematical study of shapes, their properties, and their relationships. Emphasis is placed on student discovery and exploration and on formulating and defending conjectures. Geometry includes an in-depth study of reasoning, polygons, congruence, similarity, right triangles, circles, area, volume, and transformations. Students will use a variety of approaches, such as coordinate, transformational, and axiomatic systems. Students will also derive an appreciation for the connections between geometry and other disciplines such as art and architecture.
Instructional Philosophy: My instructional philosophy is to provide a positive classroom environment conducive to learning. Through this, I will provide daily activities that offer students the skills needed to excel in mathematics and other educational areas. Students are expected to participate and be a part of class discussions. The format of the class may vary from day to day, but my goal as the teacher is to reach each and every student depending on his or her specific needs.
