Geometry - In this class students explore geometry with a focus on applications to various mathematical topics. Using the University of Chicago Mathematics Project (UCSMP) textbook series, this year of study covers points, lines, angles, polygons, explicit logical reasoning, and transformations including reflections, rotations, and translations. Measurement formulas for both 2 and 3 dimensional figures are developed, proved, and utilized. Emphasis is also placed on coordinate geometry, similarity, and beginning trigonometry. During the year, students will work on independent projects. In addition to the UCSMP Geometry text, materials form Mathematics Teacher and teacher -generated materials will be used.
