Name:

Geometry Honors EVP (MATH250e)
Department:

Enriched Virtual
Credits:

1.0 (yearlong course)
Suggested Prerequisites:

Algebra 1 (MATH100) or Algebra 1 Honors (MATH150)

A grade of an 85% or higher in the subject area course taken the previous year.

Geometry Honors EVP

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:

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.

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

The honors track includes a deeper focus on critical thinking and analytical skills by providing students with more challenging problems and assignments. These elements will prepare students to be successful in future upper-level and AP® courses.

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

I enjoyed the group discussion boards, interacting math help websites, and how I had a kind teacher willing to offer help at almost any time.

EVP is really the only way I can learn math effectively. I usually have to see it and do it to learn math.

I found the live classes very helpful for learning new concepts and getting to interact with my teacher face-to-face. The strict deadlines were also a strong motivator for getting my work done on time.
