Course Description:

This is a complete high school geometry course that meets the Minnesota Standards in Geometry.  Emphasis is placed on the understanding, application, and development of geometric properties in two and three dimensions.  Additionally, an effort is made to consistently connect geometry topics with algebra concepts students studied in Algebra 1 and will return to in Algebra II following this course. Topics studied in Geometry include:

1. Foundations for Geometry
2. Geometric Reasoning
3. Parallel and Perpendicular lines
4. Triangle Congruence
5. Properties and Attributes of Triangles
6. Polygons and Quadrilaterals
7. Similarity
8. Right Triangles and Trigonometry
9. Extending Perimeter, Circumference and Area
10. Spatial Reasoning
11. Circles
12. Extending Transformational Geometry
