    This course is designed to provide students with a formal study of plane Euclidean geometry. Emphasis is given to understanding geometry as an axiomatic system of postulates and theorems together with their applications to a variety of problems. Students are expected to use postulates and theorems for geometric proofs in conjunction with the topics being studied. Those topics include inductive and deductive reasoning, congruency, similarity, coordinate geometry, constructions and transformations. Students will also analyze characteristics and properties of two and three dimensional shapes and figures as well as determine surface area and volume.

    Although the content of this course is the same as that of the Comprehensive course, it is intended for students who have consistently exhibited a strong mathematical aptitude.  Expectations relative to quality of work, depth of understanding, and independent learning are higher in this course than the Comprehensive course, and a strong grasp of algebra 1 skills is required.

     

    Prerequisite: Algebra 1. Due to the rigorous nature and accelerated pace of this course, incoming freshman students must be recommended by the middle school.
