Course description

In this course, students will learn, practice, and apply skills and strategies that will help them grow into strong mathematical thinkers. The course presents math as a complete subject to be studied, not merely sets of rules and formulas to be followed. Arriving at solutions is important, as are precision and vocabulary, but instruction does not center on procedural math only. Instead, instruction encourages depth of understanding, connections within and outside courses, flexibility of approaches, and usage of various tools. Daily instruction supports student learning of core geometry concepts and development of procedural fluency, beginning with geometry basics: points, lines, and planes; segments, angles, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines; and sides of triangles. The course continues with coverage of constructing regular shapes; transformations; triangle congruence; formal proofs; coordinate geometry; and similarity.
