Geometry Course Overview:

This mastery-based geometry class integrates discussions, cartoons, anecdotes, examples, and plenty of exercises. With a greater emphasis on problems, rather than long introductory instructions, this is a great text for learning-through-doing.

Topic include: lines, angles, direct and indirect proofs, congruence, inequalities, parallel lines, quadrilaterals, transformations, area, similarity, triangles, circles, concurrence theorems, and more. This is a rigorous and challenging course… but worth it!

Students will be challenged to reason mathematically and apply that reasoning to a wide range of real-world problems. This focus on mastery builds a solid foundation for future math, science, and engineering classes.

Grade Level:

10-12

Prerequisite(s):

Completion of Algebra 1

Curriculum:

Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding (Third Edition) by Harold Jacobs [ISBN 9781683440208] and “Answers to Exercises for Geometry” [ISBN 9781683440215]

Please note: I’ve chosen the “Honeybee” third edition of Jacobs Geometry. It is virtually the same as the pink “Math Tools” printing of the third edition; Master Books has simply removed a few “references to smoking, drinking, Martians, clairvoyance” et cetera. If you already own the pink “Math Tools” version (ISBN 9781619991095) and Answers (ISBN 9781619991163), they’ll probably work fine.

Required Equipment:

A scientific (or graphing) calculator, protractor, and sturdy compass

I have enjoyed taking your class. . . Who would have thought that anyone would look forward to a math class? I’ve loved play Madlibs and Kahoot during class, as your way to “wake us up.” . . . You gave us lots of resources so that we could fully understand the concepts you were teaching us. You always made me fully understand and didn’t leave questions unanswered. . . . You have shown me different, and easier methods of doing the same thin, like using the Pythagorean Theorem instead of the distance formula. . . . You have made Geometry fun and easy for us all, by giving us fun things to study with, fun things during (class), and most of all, your positive outlook on such a hard subject.
