GEOMETRY

This course has two major goals. One is to introduce students to the language, symbols, and relationships which exist between geometrical figures in two or three dimensions. The second goal is to develop logical thinking through the 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 Geometry.
