Course Description
In Geometry, students study a variety of geometrical investigations, problems, patterns, and relationships of Geometry. This course also strengthens students' algebra skills while developing new algebraic understandings required for future math courses. Reasoning and justifying conclusions are central to proof and emphasized throughout the course.
Learning Outcomes
The Geometry course will enable the student to:
- Be fluent in the language of geometry and be able to identify characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric objects
- Use inductive and deductive reasoning to formulate and support conclusions; the concept of proof will be introduced as a means of justifying these conclusions with general principles
- Use the concepts and language of transformations to describe and analyze geometrical relationships
- Understand and apply the principles of right triangle trigonometry
- Solve linear equations and systems of linear equations
- Model real world phenomena with linear and quadratic equations
Assessment
A variety of ongoing and frequent assessments, both formative and summative, will be used to develop each student’s ability to communicate and apply their understanding of topics studied.
