• GEOMETRY CLASS OBJECTIVES

    The mathematics learning experience in Geometry centers on Reasoning and Logic, Two and Three-Dimensional Shapes, including Circles, and Right Triangle Trigonometry.  Students have been introduced to the most common of these topics as early as 4th grade, but mainly in 7th grade and Pre-Algebra.  Students on this course will extend their knowledge of basic shapes by finding the surface area and volume of uncommon figures to include logical reasoning, problem-based activities, and the use of trigonometric ratios. Real world applications and problem-solving strategies will be integrated throughout the course.

    The following is the content that will be covered in Honors Geometry.
