GEOMETRY HONORS

Syllabus 2021-2022

                                       

 

 

Course Description:

Topics covered include the language of geometry (points, lines, planes and angles), reasoning and proofs (paragraph, two column, flow, indirect, and coordinate), parallel and perpendicular lines, congruent triangles, applications of congruent triangles, quadrilaterals, similarity, right triangles and trigonometry, circles, polygons and area, surface area and volume, coordinate geometry, and transformations.

Course Objective:

Students will acquire and demonstrate knowledge of concepts, definitions, properties, and applications of the topics listed above as well as develop the computational skills and strategies needed to solve problems. Students will develop critical thinking and decision making skills by connecting concepts to practical applications.

Grading:

60% Major Assignments: Tests, Reports, Projects
           MUST show work on all Exams to get full credit

40% Minor Assignments: Classwork, Homework, Quizzes, Binders
