About the course
Course Overview
This course begins with review and introduction of definitions of the building blocks of geometry. Students develop a strong foundation of working with definitions, postulates, and axioms. They will explore logic as it relates to mathematics, reasoning, and proofs. Course content helps the learner cultivate a strong sense of working with figures and shapes of all forms, and expands their ideas into real life problems. Strong spatial reasoning skills are taught as students explore different properties of shapes and figures including congruence, area, perimeter, volume, surface area, and similarity. These new ideas provide learners a place to continually apply their accumulated Algebra knowledge and skills. The course concludes with examining the many properties related to circles, and an introduction to Trigonometry.
