Honors Geometry

Honors Geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationship of lines, angles, surfaces, solids, and points. Students will grasp an understanding of the concepts using postulates and theorems discovered in geometry.

Prerequisite

Final year average of an A in Algebra I

Special Purchases

TI-84+ calculator, center wheel compass, notebook

Homework Estimate

Approximately 30 minutes per night

Major Concepts Covered

In the first semester, Honors Geometry will address concepts on essentials of geometry, reasoning and proofs, parallel and perpendicular lines, congruent triangles, and relationships within triangles. The second semester will cover similarity, right triangles, trigonometry, quadrilaterals, properties of circles, area of polygons, area and sector of circles, surface area and volume of solids.

Insider Information

Honors Geometry is a very thought-provoking math class. Students will be asked to think out of the box. Advanced algebra skills will be used daily to solve problems dealing with shapes.

Honors Geometry will stretch students’ spatial knowledge. It is a different kind of math course such that it will challenge students to think and apply the knowledge they have learned.
