Course title
Geometry 1APre-requisite
Algebra 1A and Algebra 1BCourse description
Geometry A helps students build a strong foundation of traditional geometry concepts. Students will delve deep into geometric problems; develop formal proofs; and apply their knowledge to real-life situations.
In this course; students develop their knowledge of geometry; starting with a basic understanding of how transformations in the plane affect geometric figures. Students also learn how to determine congruent and similar triangles and their relationships with transformations. Students learn properties of triangles and quadrilaterals and use them in writing formal geometric proofs. Students define sine; cosine; and tangent as ratios in a right triangle; as well as sine and cosine as coordinates on the unit circle; and apply trigonometry to general triangles. The course concludes with three-dimensional figures; in which students determine areas; volumes; cross sections; and solids of revolution. Students use these concepts to model situations and problem solve.
