In the Geometry in Construction fusion class, students learn by doing. It is currently the only hands-on math course available at BHS. Students engage in hands-on projects exposing them to practical skills in building and carpentry trades. Students also learn the concepts of Geometry through the context of its uses in construction however no previous construction experience is necessary. Students earn 1.0 credit for Geometry and 1.0 credit for Construction Technology after successful completion of both semesters.
