Description
This course is a full-year, double-credit course of the three-year math sequence. Everyday Geometry is intended to help students meet current district and state standards. Students explore complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. The 6 critical areas of focus are: Congruence, proof, and constructions. Similarity, proof, and trigonometry. Extending to three dimensions. Connecting Algebra and Geometry through coordinates. Circles with and without coordinates, and Applications of probability. Topics are stressed in an overall environment of problem-solving through translation of problems into solvable equations. Algebraic concepts will be taught kinesthetically and abstractly, to help students understand algebra topics better. A scientific calculator is strongly recommended.
