Geometry Honors

  • Name:

    Geometry Honors (MATH250)

  • Department:

    Math

  • Credits:

    1.0 (yearlong course)

Geometry Honors

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.

NOTE for Honors: Geometry Honors (MATH250) is an enriched version of MATH200. The supplemental reading and activities in the Honors course allow students the opportunity to reinforce their learning as they gain a deeper understanding of the material. Students are supported by the teacher and by the lessons themselves as they work through the course. Students in the Honors course can expect an average of 1-2 hours of work per week in addition to the regular course content.

Special Notes:

The recommended sequence for students wishing to pursue advanced math classes: Algebra 1 (8th grade) – Geometry Honors – Algebra 2 Honors – AP PreCalculus (if taking Calculus later) – AP Calculus or AP Statistics

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.
