Geometry
About Geometry
In this course, students will learn to visualize, analyze and reason informally. They will investigate the logic of Geometry and learn to reason deductively as they develop the concept of a formal proof. Students will study the topics of congruence, transformations, similarity, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry. Students will review and strengthen algebraic skills as they master the perimeter, area, and volume formulas. Throughout the course, the relevancy of geometric concepts in the real world will be stressed.
Prerequisite: Algebra I
About Advanced Geometry
In this course, students will learn to visualize, analyze and reason with an emphasis on the understanding of formal proofs of deductive reasoning. Students will study the topics of congruence, transformations, similarity, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry. Students will review and strengthen algebraic skills as they master the perimeter, area, and volume formulas. Throughout the course, the relevancy of geometric concepts in the real world will be stressed. This is a rigorous course that moves at a fast pace and examines topics in depth.
Prerequisite: Algebra I and teacher recommendation
Geometry Competencies
Below are the Geometry Competencies. These competencies have been created and revised by the Concord High School Math Department. Within each competency, there are learning targets that are topics that the department hopes to teach throughout the course. These are subject to change based on the needs of the students and other unforeseen circumstances that come up throughout the school year.
