Geometry
Course Description: Geometry is the third course in Mathematics for High School students. On this course, students will have the opportunity to make conjectures about geometric situations and prove in a variety of ways, both formal and informal, that their conclusion follows logically from their hypothesis. The course includes the study of planes and three-dimensional figures. Logical thinking is explored through deductive and inductive methods. Topics include the geometry of points, lines and planes, properties of congruence and similarity, trigonometry, circles and spheres, coordinate geometry, area, and volume, and applications of probability. This course addresses the National Common Core Standards. This course is a 5 credit course.Course Objectives:
