311 Geometry H

 Gr 9 | 6 Credits | Year-Long | 5x per Cycle

Honors Geometry will study Euclidean geometry with an emphasis on proof. This course will deepen a student’s understanding of plane figures and their properties. Students will generate conjectures based upon their observations. They will present convincing arguments using deductive reasoning to prove or disprove these conjectures and other propositions. Geometry and algebra will be integrated throughout the course. Students taking this course will be expected to have mastered the content of previous math courses, and should demonstrate a clear understanding of Algebra 1 topics. Both independent and cooperative work will be expected of all students.

Essential Skills:

• Create and interpret geometric representations using correct notation and vocabulary

• Simplify, solve and evaluate numerical and algebraic expressions and equations

• Draw valid conclusions and justify reasoning and solutions
