A in Algebra 1 or 9th grade entry with teacher recommendation
In addition to the goals of the Geometry course, the Honors course places greater emphasis on independent learning, problem solving skills, and the integration of Algebra. This allows for topics to be covered in greater depth and for the inclusion of additional topics. Students will use matrices to represent transformations on the coordinate plane, investigate properties of non-Euclidean geometry, use deductive reasoning and logic extensively to justify conclusions, and use the Laws of Sines and Cosines in real-world applications.
Honors Geometry lends itself well to utilization of projects and investigations to demonstrate learning. In addition, student learning is also assessed using quizzes, tests and daily assignments.
