Abbreviated Course: Abbreviated version of the full credit equivalent course
This is an eight week, credit recovery, informal Geometry course. The course emphasizes the relationships among geometric figures and concepts and applies them to real world applications. The concepts of points, lines, planes, parallel lines, congruence, similarity, polygons, coordinate geometry, area, volume, circles, and right triangle trigonometry will be explored. Students will apply logical thinking throughout the course, without an emphasis on formal proofs. Students are expected to have, and be able to use, solid algebra skills to solve problems in each topic area. Internet resources are used throughout the course to explore and instruct the topics presented.
Please note that because this course is eight weeks in duration, and students are expected to work approximately ten hours per week, the course will therefore not cover a full year's curriculum with the same depth that is covered in a year-long course.
During this course students will:
- Use logical reasoning to identify and apply geometric properties
- Learn to communicate clearly and effectively
- Apply geometric concepts to real world applications
- Use geometric software to investigate and describe geometric properties
- Apply algebraic concepts in geometric topics
