This full-year course expands students' knowledge of geometric concepts from earlier grades. This course emphasizes a detailed exploration of geometric properties, congruency and similarity, and interpreting algebraic equations and inequalities geometrically. Translations of fixed objects on the coordinate plane as well as geometric probability and right triangle trigonometry will also be explored in detail. Students will also explore plane and solid geometric shapes with an emphasis on real world applications. Students will develop formal and informal proof using deductive reasoning skills. A variety of interactive tools and programs will be used to help students visualize and apply concepts.
