Prerequisites: C or better in Algebra 1 and recommendation of the current mathematics teacher

This 10th grade course provides students with the opportunity to utilize inductive and deductive reasoning in the study of geometry as a mathematical system. The course relies heavily upon each student's background in Algebra 1. Students should be able to solve linear equations, understand quadratic functions, and work with radical expressions. The course includes the study of geometric elements and there is a strong emphasis on the unification of algebra and geometry. Probability and statistics will also be reviewed as part of this course.

Specific topics to be studied include: Elements of Geometry, Inductive/Deductive Reasoning, The Nature of Proof, Angle Relationships, Parallel and/or Perpendicular Lines and Planes, Congruent and Similar Polygons, The Geometry of the Right Triangle, Introductory Trigonometry, The Geometry of the Circle, Constructions and Loci, Methods of Coordinate Geometry, and Transformational Geometry.

Prerequisites: B or better in Algebra 2 (Honors) and recommendation of the current mathematics teacher

Study of the structure of geometry as a mathematical system provides students with an opportunity to utilize both inductive and deductive reasoning processes. Geometry deals with abstract concepts and is highly analytical. This 10th grade course demands a thorough knowledge of the concepts learned in Algebra 2 (H). Students should be able to solve linear and quadratic equations and be familiar with the concept of a radical expression. The course includes the study of geometric elements and geometric systems. The nature of proof is integrated throughout the course, and there is a strong emphasis on the unification of algebra and geometry. Probability and statistics will also be reviewed as part of this course.
