Welcome to Geometry Honors!

Course Description:

Geometry has long been considered the course in which students learn to reason and to see the structure of mathematics. Geometry is a program of the mathematical study of shapes, their properties and relationships. The course competencies are presented as a year-long course that meets the state geometry standards. Emphasis is placed on student discovery and exploration, and on formulating and defending conjectures. Geometry includes an in-depth study of reasoning, polygons, congruence, similarity, right triangles, circles, area, volume and transformations. Students will use a variety of approaches such as coordinate, transformational and axiomatic systems. They will also develop an appreciation for the connections between geometry and other disciplines such as art and architecture.
