2nd Hour- Pre-Ap Geometry

prerequisite: Teacher recommendation, 85 or better average in Algebra 1

Advance placement course in Geometry. Study of Euclidian geometry and algebra applied to geometric concepts. Logical reasoning, problem solving, and critical thinking skills are emphasized throughout the course. Topics include: basic geometric terms and figures, coordinate geometry, reasoning and proof, parallel and perpendicular lines, congruency and similarity in figures, relationships within triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons, perimeter and area of plane figures, surface area and volume of space figures, right triangle trigonometry, circles, and transformations. This course provides a greater emphasis on logic, proof, higher-level problem solving to challenge students with higher levels of math aptitude and skills.
