Geometry - Year (5320)
Students in geometry study Euclid’s postulates and theorems as the basis
for an axiomatic system. Students will explore geometry through inductive and
deductive processes, technology, constructions, manipulatives, and algebraic connections.
Topics of investigation include logic, angle and line relationships, triangles
and other polygons, congruence, and similarity. Students also study coordinate
geometry. Trigonometric ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent are used to solve
triangle problems. Students will use area, volume, geometric probability, and
geometric relationships to solve real-life problems. While math skills will be
developed, teaching will focus on the understanding of concepts with depth, enabling
students to apply math skills and make meaningful connections in life’s
experiences. This course carries credit equivalent to Applied Math 2. A graphing
calculator is recommended. Prerequisite: Algebra 1 (5210).
