Geometry

Summary:

This class is designed to give students a strong grasp on fundamental geometry principles as well as the significance of geometry in everyday life. Students will gain confidence with geometric formulas and a handful of practical applications.

The course will start with a refresher on algebra skills and then dive into the basic elements required for constructing geometric figures: points, lines, planes, etc. This will allow us to work through angles, shapes, transformations, logic, measurement, and more. While most of the time will be spent exploring the core facts, we will also pursue projects that help us see real life applications.

Objectives:

• Use algebra to build an understanding of the relationships within geometry

• Equip students with formulas and tools to compute various parts of shapes

• Provide students opportunities to construct simple figures of their own

• Reveal the connection between geometry in the classroom and its life applications

Materials:

• Graph paper

• Pencils & erasers

• Ruler

• Protractor

Schedule

The class is 36 weeks long, running from the weeks of September 11 to May 12.

Sessions will occur on Wednesdays, 2:30–4.

The class is designed for a minimum of 8 students.

Cost

The full year costs $900 per student, which amounts to $25 per class.
