Are you ready for an exciting math challenge which will set you up for future math classes and your profession? If so, then select Geometry Klein Prep!
Geometry Klein Prep teaches critical thinking skills through geometry proofs and multi-step problems. This class is a real-world application of the Algebra skills you have acquired over the past 8 to 9 years.
Is your career choice a lawyer? We will teach logical reasoning through the Law of Syllogism, Law of Detachment and Modus Tollens. We will teach you how to show each individual step through proofs to reach a final conclusion as you would in a court of law.
Are you looking towards the medical field? Critical thinking and problem solving will allow you to help diagnose patients and make quick decisions which could save a life.
Engineering your dream? We build on your Algebra skills with spatial reasoning and various calculations building from systems and factoring learned in Algebra I.
Carpentry/Architecture/Interior Design? You will learn how to calculate surface area of unique shapes to buy materials and help calculate man hours. Parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and circles are all part of drawing and creating the houses or buildings of someone’s dreams. The attributes of these lines will help you draft your creations through various programming tools.
Be prepared for a fast paced, in-depth curriculum which will prepare you for any career you choose. This class will require homework/practice at home each night and strong Algebra skills without a calculator are highly recommended. Time requirements outside of school will vary depending upon each students skill level. Students should be both dedicated and self-motivated to seek answers to challenging problems.
"I took regulars algebra 1 and then took Geometry Pre-AP. The difference in those classes shocked me, but I don’t regret I because this class transformed me. I had to work harder and put in more effort than the bare minimum, but I can honestly say that I learned more from that class than any other class I’ve taken. If you dedicate yourself and remain diligent, it will be worth it. This class is your foundation, and it will affect you for years, so it is essential that you work to make it as strong as it can possibly be." - Caroline
"Geometry Per-AP really does prepare you well for your future math classes because it covers topics and skills used in the higher math classes. When you are in Geometry, you will notice there is a lot of homework and it is absolutely crucial that you do all your homework." - Micah
"Geometry Pre-AP is a very rewarding and helpful class. When you get into more upper level math classes later in high school you tend to draw a lot from this class. It seems difficult at the time but as long as you try your best and pay attention you will do great." - Claire
"Geometry is important because it helps you develop logical skills. You also would be able to see the benefits in future classes when learning spatial problem solving." - Raina
"Geometry is an easy class to learn and very important for you education and graduation. Taking the course as a Pre-Ap student is even more beneficial. For starters, it boosts your GPA which is very important for college. Taking a Pre-Ap class early on also helps for more educational opportunities later in your high school and college education. In order to take a Pre-Ap Geometry, you have to be willing to put effort in to your work. Yes, the teacher will help you, that is their job, but you have to learn to pay attention and try to learn. Being in Pre-Ap, you won’t be babied as much. The class isn’t just about shapes. Yes, it involves a lot of shapes but it also teaches you how to prove certain aspects of math that you may just think happens because it does." Vincent
Students can expect to be challenged. They will dig deeper into Geometry concepts to fully understand “why”. Students will be expected to collaborate with peers and be able to work on their own.
