Prerequisite: Students must have passed Algebra I with at least a C to take this course.
In geometry, we will complete direct and indirect proofs and learn the logic behind them. We will study and prove theorems about lines, angles, congruence, inequalities, parallel lines, quadrilaterals, transformations, area, similarity, right triangles, circles, concurrence, regular polygons, geometric solids, and the coordinate system. We will also have some algebra reviews. We will typically cover two lessons per class; homework averages 5 hours per week. Students are expected to check homework at home and bring their questions to class. Some homework will be turned in for grading. Required texts are (1) Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding by Harold Jacobs, 3rd ed., (Freeman, 2003) ISBN 0716743612, and ( 2) Enhanced Teacher Guide for Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding.
