Geometry is the most ancient and beautiful of all the mathematical studies.
With its roots firmly embedded in the logic of Euclid and Aristotle and its branches and leaves forming a fractal pattern of non-linear dynamics and chaos theory, geometry is a tree into both the past as well as the future. Inductive and deductive problem solving make the study of geometry an excellent tool for developing the higher order reasoning skills of synthesis and analysis . Students will utilize inductive reasoning to develop conclusions that are later proved deductively. Students will understand the rationale behind previously accepted facts and formulas. Students will improve their ability for mental imaging and spatial relations.
