313 Geometry CP

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

This course will deepen a student’s understanding of shapes and their properties, with an emphasis on basic skill development and problem solving through applications. Students will form conclusions based upon their observations (experimentation) and make generalizations based upon their examinations and a simplified axiomatic system carefully developed and used in class. Connections between geometry and algebra will be explored using a variety of sources. The computer will be used to reinforce spatial notions and to develop conjectures. Students taking this course will be expected to have successfully completed an algebra course and will use their algebraic skills. This course will use online tools and resources as well.

Essential Skills:

• Create and interpret geometric representations using correct notation 

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

• Draw valid conclusions and justify reasoning and solutions
