Geometry
Course Description
Students learn how to recognize and work with geometric concepts in various contexts. They begin with the foundations of geometry, focusing on inductive and deductive reasoning, logic, concepts, and techniques of Euclidean plane and solid geometry. They go on to develop an understanding of mathematical structure, method, and applications of Euclidean plane and solid geometry. They use visualizations, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems. Topics of study include points, lines, and angles; triangles; right triangles; quadrilaterals and other polygons; circles; coordinate geometry; three-dimensional solids; geometric constructions; symmetry; the use of transformations; and non-Euclidean geometries.
