Geometry Honors ( 1.0 credit)

The purpose of this course is to develop the geometric relationships and deductive strategies that can be used to solve a variety of real world and mathematical problems. Upon successful completion of this course, a student will understand lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, and other geometrical concepts such as congruence, similarity, area, and volume. Deductive reasoning and the role of proofs in mathematics are strongly emphasized in this course.

Honors level courses require students to utilize higher order thinking skills such as analysis and synthesis, while completing more rigorous assignments. In addition, more emphasis is placed on research mastery and project based learning.
