Students work through 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional geometric figures analyzing their properties, comparing congruence and similarities. Students explore transformations of 2-dimensional objects in both blank space and on the coordinate plane as well as constructions, dimensional analysis and applications of topics to real world problems. Large portions of the course are devoted to Euclidean style geometric proofs as well as in the Cartesian plane.
