ADVANCED GEOMETRY

This course is designed for students who have a strong aptitude in mathematics, excellent work and study habits, and the ability to move at a faster pace than students in a regular Geometry course. Topics in Advanced Geometry will be studied in greater depth and students will work more challenging problems. This course has two major goals. One is to introduce students to the language symbols, and relationships which exist between geometrical figures in two and three dimensions. The second goal is to develop logical thinking through extensive writing of geometric proofs. The student will learn to use reason to prove facts about the relationship of lines, angles, triangles, circles, polygons, and 3-dimensional figures. It is necessary for students to be able to think independently, explore many possibilities, and analyze situations in order to succeed in Advanced Geometry.
