IMPORTANT: this is for the second half of the course. Student should have taken the first half in the Fall, or the equivalent of it.
This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of geometry. Students will explore the relationships between points, lines, planes, and angles, and learn how to apply geometric principles to solve problems and real-world situations. Emphasis will be placed on Geometric proofs: logical arguments that demonstrate the validity of a statement or theorem. Students will learn how to write proofs using deductive reasoning and understand the importance of using clear and concise language.
During the in-class portion of the course, the teacher will be providing dynamic instructions on new topics and give students opportunities to practice and master problems.
This course uses Aleks Math, allowing students to work at their own pace while doing independent work yet ensuring they move through the entire curriculum by the end of the year.
Aleks math provides "Knowledge Checks" which periodically evaluates the student's comprehension. Knowledge checks also identify gaps in students' knowledge from foundational topics and provide instruction in those specific areas to keep students from falling behind. Aleks, in conjunction with a dedicated teacher, allows students to practice known concepts and learn new topics confidently.
Students must be in the habit of bringing paper and pencils to write down their work. It will be helpful for them in later topics and for review.
