Course Overview:

This Honors Geometry online course builds on the foundation of the first terms in Geometry.  As in previous courses, deductive and inductive reasoning are emphasized, while applying problem-solving techniques to real-world problems. Honors Geometry is the study of the measurement of the world, with a focus on application of geometric concepts. What makes Geometry so engaging is the relationship of figures and measures to each other, and how these relationships can predict results in the world around us. Through real-world applications, the honors student sees how geometric reasoning provides insight into everyday life. 

Throughout the course, students will develop a strong grasp of geometric concepts and problem-solving strategies. They will learn to apply logic and reasoning to solve geometric problems and make connections between different geometric principles. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of fundamental geometry concepts and their real-world applications.

Semester 1:

The course begins with the tools needed in Geometry. From these foundations, the student explores the measure of line segments, angles, and two-dimensional figures. Students will learn about similarity, triangles, and trigonometric ratios. Geometry A consists of six modules. Each module comprises ten lessons for a total of 60 lessons in the course. Honors students are expected to complete several assignments within each module that demonstrate their knowledge of the applications of geometry.

Semester 2: 

In Semester B, students explore quadrilaterals and circles and learn how an object is transformed, as well as how to represent that transformation algebraically and geometrically. Students calculate area and volume of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. Geometry B consists of six modules. Each module comprises ten lessons for a total of 60 lessons in the course. Honors students are expected to complete several assignments within each module that demonstrate their knowledge of the applications of geometry.
