Geometry

The Geometry curriculum provides students with visual and concrete representations that help them gain insight into important areas of mathematics and their applications.  This is a college preparatory course. The study of Geometry includes math vocabulary, organization of proofs, points, lines, planes and angles, parallel lines and planes, transformations and congruence, congruent triangles, similar polygons, right triangles, circles, areas of plane and solid figures, volumes and surface areas of solids, using formulas in solving problems, visualizing geometric situations, and using geometric ideas in real situations. Internet activities can be used to check and enhance student understanding.

The main objective of this course is to provide the student with the requisite foundation for the study of advanced algebra and trigonometry. During the study of geometry, students will be able to measure, reason, and apply geometrical ideas. Students will be able to make connections between mathematics and the world around them.
