This course explores relations involving one, two and three-dimensional spaces: angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, planes, circles, triangles, triangle trigonometry, polygons, area, surface area, and volume. The basics of logic are introduced and the deductive proof-writing process is developed throughout the course. Problem-solving skills from Algebra 1 will be used throughout the course. This is offered as either an individually - or teacher-paced course with a strong emphasis on collaboration, connection-making, and discovery.
Note: Students may self-select honors-level work within the course.
A scientific calculator is required for Algebra 1 and Geometry. A graphing calculator is recommended as the functionality will be needed for higher levels of math. (Popular models include the Texas Instruments TI-84 and the HP Prime).
Incoming 9th graders: Placement determined by the Algebra 1 placement test.
Completion of Algebra 1 with a minimum grade of C- or better both semesters.
Transition into the individually-paced program: Requires approval from the student’s current Algebra 1 instructor.
Continuation in the individually-paced program: Students must demonstrate steady progress that exceeds a traditional Algebra 1 pace. Students who complete the year at or near the end of Algebra 1 content will move to the teacher-led Geometry course for the following year.
