Geometry
Description:
In this course, students will focus on developing understanding of geometric concepts through reasoning, problem-solving, and real-world applications. Students will explore topics such as congruence, similarity, right triangles, trigonometry, circles, and geometric constructions. Students will also engage in coordinate and transformational geometry, proofs, and applications of volume and surface area. Through a combination of attention-grabbing activities, technology-driven explorations, and mathematical reasoning, students will build critical thinking skills and a deeper appreciation for the role of geometry in everyday life. This course prepares students for advanced math courses by emphasizing logical reasoning, precision, and mathematical modeling.
Special Notes:
The recommended sequence for students taking non-Honors courses: Algebra 1 – Geometry – Algebra 2 – Other 300+ math
Students need access to a scanner or digital camera (phone is fine) in order to submit work for the teacher to review. Students will also need a TI-84 graphing calculator for this course.
FROM THE TEACHER
Geometry is more than just shapes and formulas—it’s a powerful way of thinking that helps you develop logic, problem-solving, and critical reasoning skills. In this class, we will go beyond memorizing formulas and theorems; we will explore why they work and how they apply to the world around us. Through hands-on activities, real-world applications, and technology-driven challenges, we will develop a deep understanding of geometric concepts.
If there are books and materials for this course, they can be purchased from our Online Bookstore.
Student Feedback
The set up was easy to follow; everything was divided into daily assignments.
This course was the perfect amount of difficulty and was easy to navigate through and learn.
This course was very easily followed and I actually enjoyed it; I normally hate math.
