Geometry (Period 4) Assignments

The goal of this course is to provide students with the core geometry skills necessary to pass the geometric portion of the Arizona AIMS standardized test, to develop numerical literacy and to promote quantitative reasoning.  Semester One will focus on measurement, area of 2D figures, coordinate geometry, transformations in the plane, angles, and linear relationships.  Semester Two will focus on triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circle theorems, volume of 3D solids, and similarity theorems. Students will learn definitions and theorems and use them to develop logical arguments to construct proofs.  Students will use graphing calculators to explore graph transformations and perimeter/area/volume properties of geometric figures.   Throughout the course, students will use geometric methods to model real world scenarios about area, volume, density, and rate of change.
