Geometry I (Virtual)

This is an Introduction to Geometry course (Geometry - Part I)

This course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions.  It includes the study of transformations and right triangle trigonometry.  Inductive and deductive thinking skills are used in problem solving situations, and applications to the real world are stressed.  It also emphasizes writing proofs to solve (prove) properties of geometric figures. 

• Points, lines, planes and angles. Definitions and Postulates

• Angles.  Parallel lines and planes

• Congruent triangles (Corresponding parts in a congruence, SSS,SAS,ASA, AAS congruence) 

• Perimeter and area

• Similar polygons. Ratio, proportion, and similarity. Similar triangles

• Right triangles. The Pythagorean theorem

• Quadrilaterals, Parallelograms, Special quadrilaterals
