Course Information

Geometry:

Students will continue to build on the essential foundation in grades K-8 as they expand their understanding through other mathematical experiences.  This course provides students with a better understanding of Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometric thinking and spatial reasoning, geometric figures and their properties, the relationship between geometry and other mathematics, and other disciplines, tools for geometric thinking, and underlying mathematical processes.  The key concepts for the course include geometric structure, geometric patterns, dimensionality and the geometry of location, congruence and the geometry of size, and similarity and the geometry of shape.

College Prep Mathematics:

The HB5 college prep courses (CPC) in English and math were prepared in response to legislative requirements and instituted beginning Fall 2014. In the Rio Grande Valley, all local institutions of higher education worked closely with many local ISDs, RGV FOCUS, Educate Texas, and Region One ESC to develop a shared approach as formalized in a joint Memo of Understanding (MOU) so that all students from the region could be seamlessly supported regardless of high school or institution of higher education choice.
