Geometry CP

Course Information

This course is intended to challenge motivated and capable students to begin to formalize their geometry experiences from elementary and middle school. This is done by strengthening algebraic skills so that students investigate the basic structure of geometry. Topics of study include: deductive reasoning through proof and problem solving, developing powers of spatial visualization, building knowledge of the relationships among geometric elements, and developing precision of mathematical language. This course enables students to solve problems about objects and shapes in two- and three-dimensions, including theorems about universal truths and spatial reasoning. Students will use a variety of tools including graphing utilities and dynamic software to represent and solve problems through modeling. This College Preparatory course is based on SC College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics for Geometry and is designed to enrich critical thinking skills.
