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.
