2 semesters Prerequisite:
Algebra Where
Algebra is the study of numerical patterns, Geometry is the study of visual
patterns.
In this course, students study these patterns both geometrically and
algebraically covering measurement, symmetry, reflections, rotations,
translations, congruence, correspondence, area, volume, and similarity.
Students develop conjectures about the patterns they discover and prove
their theorems using logic with both informal and formal, deductive and
inductive proof techniques.
The course begins with the geometry of points, and flows naturally to the
study of segments, rays, lines, polygons, polyhedrons, trigonometry, and
circles.
Geometry B is intended for
those students of average or below math skills. Required
