Geometry

This course provides students with a better understanding of Euclidean geometric thinking, spatial reasoning, geometric figures and their properties, the relationship between geometry and other disciplines, tools for geometric thinking, and underlying mathematical processes. We will be using the Carnegie Learning curriculum for our daily lessons. This course will also focus on preparing students to pass the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) exam.  Passing the TSI allows students to enroll in dual enrollment classes at Harlingen South and Texas colleges after graduation. 

Class Topics: Carnegie Modules

Module 1- Reasoning with Shapes

Module 2 - Establishing Congruence

Module 3 - Investigating Proportionality

Module 4 - Connecting Geometric and Algebraic Descriptions

Module 5 - Making Informed Decisions

Algebra

This course provides students with a better understanding of algebraic thinking and symbolic reasoning, function concepts, relationship between equations and functions, tools for algebraic thinking, and underlying mathematical processes.  The key concepts for the course include foundations for functions, linear functions, and quadratic and other nonlinear functions.  The state assessment required for graduation , STAAR Algebra 1 EOC, will be given in December 2025 and May 2026.
