Geometry is designed to follow Algebra. It provides students with a simple, thorough introduction to the fundamentals of Euclidean geometry. Students will make geometric construction with compass and straight edge. The student will learn to apply the principles of logic, including deductive reasoning, to problem solving situations. Primary emphasis is placed on Euclidean Geometry which is developed as a mathematical system.
Considerable emphasis is given to proof using deductive reasoning.
It is recommended that students have at least a score of 75th percentile on the I.T.E.D. to take this class. Points, lines and planes, angles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, congruence, similarity, circles, polygons, area, volume, coordinate geometry. Algebra II is a second course in algebra designed for those students wanting another year of math following Geometry. Topics will be extended from a typical first year algebra course. Solving equations and inequalities, graphing of linear and quadratic functions, sequences and series, radicals and irrational numbers, complex numbers, exponents and logarithms.
