PREREQUISITE:         Successful completion of Algebra I or its equivalent with teacher recommendation

 

The purpose of the course is to develop the geometric relationships and deductive strategies that can be used to solve a variety of real-world and mathematical problems.  The content will include, but not be limited to, the following:

  • Terminology and fundamental properties of geometry
  • Deductive and inductive reasoning and their application to formal and informal proof
  • Formulas pertaining to the measurement of plane and solid figures
  • Coordinate geometry and transformations on the coordinate plane
  • Exploration and application of geometric relationships such as parallelism, perpendicularity, congruence, and similarity
  • Properties of circles
  • Right triangle trigonometry

 

To ensure that the school year will be as successful as possible, the following guidelines have been developed and will be enforced throughout the year.

 

Grading:      

                                            A: 100 – 92, B: 91 – 83, C: 82 – 76, D: 75 – 70, F: 69 – 0
