Gain the foundational skills of Geometry — including two- and three-dimensional shapes, lines, rays, and figures in a plane; use deductive and analytical reasoning, logic, and problem-solving skills that connect Algebra and Geometry.
Students will study two and three dimensional shapes as well as lines, rays, and similar figures in a plane. Deductive reasoning will be used throughout the text to immerse students in proofs and the varying postulates and theorems that are used. Basic as well as more advanced constructions will be used along with algebra to connect algebra with the geometry that they are learning. We will be using the college entrance tests as a guide for the tests and quizzes so that students are familiar with the types of questions they will be expected to know and answer.
