Geometry
Class | Available
Algebra 1 is a prerequisite for taking Geometry.
This course requires a protractor and a scientific calculator.
This is a two semester course but students are welcome to add at any time.
Using a traditional Euclidean approach, this course begins with logic and reasoning before moving on to such themes as definitions, postulates, and theorems.
Primary topics include points, lines, angles, triangles, inequalities, quadrilaterals, polygons, basic trigonometry, circles, area, solid geometry, coordinate geometry, and constructions. Practical applications and word problems will aid in understanding how geometry is used in the real world. Mental math and problem solving as required on standardized tests are included. Formal proofs are used throughout.
This course will include a 12 month subscription to Teaching Textbooks on-line. Students will need to have access to a computer, tablet or other device to access homework lessons.
In-class instruction will prepare students for homework assignments but students will need to complete lessons at home in order to finish the course.
This class happens twice per week: in-person on Tuesdays at 12:30, and virtually on Thursdays at 11 am.
