Algebra 1 Students investigate properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, and solids using inductive and deductive reasoning. Conjectures about properties and relationships are developed inductively and then verified deductively. Vectors, transformations, algebra, and technologies are used as tools to solve geometry problems.
Study includes an introduction to non-Euclidian surfaces.
All Virginia Standards of Learning for Geometry are included in this course. Proof Geometries Course Content I. Fundamental Concepts Benchmark Students examine concepts fundamental to the study of geometry in two and three dimensions. Through investigations they draw conclusions about relationships involving points, lines, planes, and angles. Indicators Identify, draw, and label points, lines, planes, line segments, rays, and angles in space, using correct symbolic notation. Transformations and Symmetry Benchmark Students investigate and apply symmetries, isometries, and dilations through geometric movement.
