C. Course Goals:

Students will be able to do the Following:

  • Recognize the order, design, and beauty in the world around us, both in nature and in man-made inventions.
  • Recognize uses of geometry in man made construction
  • Construct a variety of shapes and lines with given criteria
  • Develop construction skills to the extent that new constructions can be made based on previous knowledge
  • Express abstract thought precisely in formal proofs.
  • Memorize tens of theorems necessary to write proofs.
  • Utilize triangle congruence as a means to describe larger shapes.
  • Understand geometrical relationships by means of geometry problems.
  • Demonstrate logical steps taken to solve second-year algebraic problems
