Geometry College Prep

322 – Geometry College Prep – 1 credit

· Full year – Recommend “C” or higher in Algebra – Grade 9, 10

This course emphasizes segment and angle relationships, congruence and similarity, parallelism and perpendicularity, and their applications to the study of triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons. Topics such as area, volume, and trigonometry are also studied. The remainder of the course develops analytic Euclidean geometry, emphasizing slope and distance relationships, circles and their arcs, tangents and angles, graphing and writing equations of lines, and solving proportions, equations and systems of equations. An introduction to vectors and the exploration of different types of formal proofs are also included in this geometry course. Constructions and computer laboratory assignments are used for discovering and investigating geometric properties. A calculator will be provided for in-class use only.
