Class Description: Geometry is the branch of mathematics mainly concerned with two and three-dimensional figures and their properties. High school geometry focuses on understanding and applying geometric concepts and principles. Students explore fundamental shapes and their properties, including points, lines, angles, triangles, polygons, and circles. The curriculum covers reasoning and proofs, using deductive logic to establish theorems and solve problems. Key topics include triangle congruence and similarity, properties of quadrilaterals, coordinate geometry applications, area and volume calculations, and geometric transformations like translations and rotations. Additionally, students are introduced to basic trigonometric concepts, such as sine and cosine, to solve real-world problems involving right triangles. Overall, the course emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and the connection between algebra and geometry. Geometry A is the first course of a two-semester series.

Homework
Weekly homework will be assigned. It will be posted as pdf files in Canvas. Answers will be posted for all homework. Students are expected to complete and check homework by themselves. Teachers may go over selected homework problems at the beginning of each class.
Students should expect to spend 2 hours on homework problems each week.
