 Course Description  

This course is designed to teach deductive reasoning and thinking skills. Emphasis is placed on mathematical statements and the use of postulates, definitions, and theorems. The general topics that are covered include congruence, similarity, parallel, perpendicular, area, volume, and constructions. Geometry emphasizes the logical application of rules to solve problems.

Course Expectations

The expectation for this course is that all students will become better problem solvers by interweaving skills, concepts, and word problems associated with geometry. This course will prepare students for standardized tests with questions that are aligned in format, content, and design to those found on today’s high stakes assessments as well as prepare them for continuing study in mathematics. It will also strengthen their ability to work in a collaborative way and reinforce basic math skills while building higher level mathematical concepts.
