Geometry Course Description
This class is approved by the NCAA.
In this live online Geometry class, students will explore the fundamentals of geometry and trigonometry. This journey will include a study of deductive reasoning, postulates and theorems, lines, angles, congruence and similarity, circles, quadrilaterals, polygons, transformations, trigonometry ratios, and real-world application problems.
Students will build on algebra concepts as they gain new spatial reasoning skills. As students prepare for classes beyond high school, geometry is one of the few math classes where material is not repeated in higher classes. To succeed, students need to truly understand the formulas and skills learned in geometry in order to be prepared for higher math classes. This class will create that strong foundation.
