The purpose of this course is to introduce students to algebra and geometry and to develop critical thinking skills using mathematics. Areas studied include lines and angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles, and area and volume.
This course provides students with experiences that deepen their understanding of two and three-dimensional figures and their properties. Deductive and inductive reasoning as well as investigative strategies in making conclusions are stressed. Major theorems and postulates are discussed and applied. An understanding of various forms of proof and logic is also developed. Other topics include the study of congruent triangles and right triangles, proportions and similarity, trigonometry, quadrilaterals, transformations, are of circles and polygons, surface areas and volumes of different solids.
Students will learn about the relationships between 2 and 3 dimensional figures. The properties associated with 1 dimensional points and lines will allow us to explore how multiple lines relate to each other. Parallel and intersecting lines will develop into 2 dimensional figures. Congruent, similar, and right triangles will introduce us to trigonometric functions. Then relationships will be further analyzed with quadrilaterals, circles and transformations. We will finish the year exploring the 3rd dimension.
