Geometry

Phase 3

1 Credit/ full year

Grade 9 or 10

Students will study postulates and theorems from Euclidean geometry, both from a theoretical and, when practical, an applied sense. Topics covered include the undefined terms, logic, triangles, triangle congruence and similarity, quadrilaterals and other polygons, parallelograms, inequalities, right triangles and basic trigonometry, circles, areas, volumes. Proofs are also presented in each topic as a logical connection between observation and conclusion. Upon completion of the course, the student should have a thorough working knowledge of the importance and beauty of Euclid's geometry, as well as a stronger logical base that can be carried into later math courses.
