Description

Building on the abstract thinking from Honors Algebra-1, geometry allows students to learn more about analysis and reasoning. Studying geometry provides many foundational skills and helps to build the thinking skills of logic, deductive reasoning, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving.

The goal of this course is to inspire students to practice analytical and deductive reasoning skills and relate that with postulates, definitions, theorems and proofs. Through interesting and engaging lessons, students will learn the overarching topics of Honors Geometry common core standards. 

Concepts covered in this class include 

• Transformations & symmetry, 
• congruence and similarity
• Postulates, Theorems & Definitions associated with congruence, similarity, 
• Polygons, 
• Part of a Triangle – medians, bisectors and altitudes
• Right Triangles & Trigonometry
• Circle Geometry, Angles & Power Theorems
• Area & Perimeter 
• 3D Geometry – Surface Area & Volume

At the end part-1 and part-2 of this level, students may move to the Honors Algebra-2 and Trigonometry. A 12-week session covers one part of the level.
