Two Semesters or Block
COURSE LENGTH:
REQUIRED TEXT:
None
Hands-on and lecture-based course that features an introduction to geometry, including reasoning and proof and basic constructions. Students are taught how to organize and meld geometrical and algebraic concepts through writing, analyzing and using proofs. An in-depth coverage of triangle relationships (similarity and congruency) and quadrilaterals enables a student to further hone such concepts as surface area and volume, circles and transformations. Trigonometry is given due credit with topics including tangent ratios and the Laws of Sine and Cosine. Students are introduced to specific geometry topics, such as Golden Connections, Taxicab Geometry, Fractals and Topology.
