Geometry Honors

This course is designed for the student who excels in both ability and performance in college preparatory mathematics. This is a rigorous study in which students will explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. The standards for this course fall into three critical areas (reporting categories): Congruence, Similarity, Right Triangles and Trigonometry, Circles, Geometric Measurement and Geometric Properties with Equations, and, Modeling with Geometry. The Standards for Mathematical Practice apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of real-world scenarios. Extensive out-of-class preparation is required. This course emphasizes the relationship between Algebra and Geometry in preparation for Algebra 2 Honors.
