Accelerated Geometry

This is the second mathematics course in the high school sequence. In this course, students will have the opportunity to make conjectures about geometric situations and prove in a variety of ways that their conclusion follows logically from their hypothesis. Geometry is meant to lead students to an understanding that reasoning and proof are fundamental aspects of mathematics. This course utilizes technology such as Geogebra and Desmos to explore and discover geometric phenomena.

Topics include:
• Congruence and similarity of triangles, using appropriate theorems
• Transformations, including rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations
• Properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles
• Coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and measurement in two and three dimensions
