Geometry Is...

the mathematical study of shapes, their properties, and their relationships. The course competencies are presented as a one-year traditional or one-semester block course that meets the state geometry standards. Emphasis is placed on student discovery and exploration and on formulating and defending conjectures. Geometry includes an in-depth study of reasoning, polygons, congruence, similarity, right triangles, circles, area, volume, and transformations. Students will use a variety of approaches, such as coordinate, transformational, and axiomatic systems.. They will also develop an appreciation for the connections between geometry and other disciplines such as art and architecture.
