Geometry

Prerequisite:  Algebra I 

This course is a survey of the fundamental and advanced concepts of plane geometry and the related topics in three-dimensional, coordinate and transformational geometry. The fundamental purpose of the course in Geometry is to formalize and extend students’ geometric experiences from the middle grades. Students explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout this course and, together with the content standards, allow students to experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that capitalizes on their ability to make sense of problem situations.

Prerequisite:  Algebra I - H

This course teaches all topics of Geometry at a significantly faster pace, in greater depth, and with supplemental topics. Strong analytical thinking skills beyond the rigors of algebraic computation are essential for this course which strongly emphasizes the concept of proof. Students must successfully meet district and teacher expectations in the completion of honors criteria each grading period. Honors criteria activities may involve complex problem-solving research involving reading/writing, investigations and explorations, advanced use of technology, and making connections within the discipline and to the workplace.
