Advanced Geometry

Class overview

Students will be expected to think deeply, communicate well, and solve challenging problems that require an extended chain of reasoning.  They will need to put in the work in order to show mastery of the various concepts and skills of geometry.  This can be a challenging course for students for a variety of reasons:  being afraid to ask for help, gaps in prerequisite skills/knowledge, bad habits like "doing the math in my head", poor time management, fixed mindset, etc.  This class operates at a fast pace and students will need to take responsibility for their own learning to keep up. 

Occasionally, students will struggle with the mathematics. These struggles are a healthy part of your student’s intellectual growth and development, just as sweating and strenuous exertion are a part of physical growth and development.  When students get stuck, they are expected to be proactive in seeking help directly from teachers, peers, and online resources.
