Honors Geometry

Department: Mathematics
Grade(s): 9

This course will build on algebraic and geometric skills from previous courses. Students are expected to grasp concepts without need for repetition and to be self-motivated, organized, mathematically exceptional, and possess high retention. This is a highly rigorous course for students who have demonstrated exceptional drive and ability to learn mathematics. This course utilizes technology such as Geogebra and Desmos to explore and discover geometric phenomena.

Topics include:
• Plane and space geometries, concurrently
• Applying what students know about two-dimensional figures to three-dimensional figures in real-world context
• Deepening their understanding of shape and shape relationships
• Extending their understanding about
• linear functions and coordinate graphing to coordinate geometry.
• Developing postulates, definitions, and theorems, as well as deductive reasoning skills that can be applied to higher-level mathematical and real-world problems
