COURSE TITLE: Geometry COURSE DESCRIPTION: Geometry provides the vocabulary and skills needed to understand and organize geometrical concepts. It involves students in a deductive system of thought that involves points, lines, angles polygons and polyhedrons. This course emphasizes proof and the applications of algebra to geometry. This is a college preparatory course. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of "C" in Algebra I or completion of Algebra Part II with Math Department recommendation. COURSE REQUIREMENTS/REQUIRED MATERIALS: 1. Text: Geometry, Burrill, Cummins, Kanold, Yunker, Copyright 1993 by Glencoe Division of Macmillan/McGraw-Hill. copyrighted by Merill Publishing Co. 2. Pencils. 3. Spiral notebook. 4. Scientific calculator.(TI 83 plus recommended) Originally COURSE OBJECTIVES/STUDENT OUTCOMES: 1) Students will become familiar with the language of geometry. Upon completing this goal, the student will be able to * graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane * identify collinear and coplanar points and intersecting lines and planes * find the distance between points on a number line, find the distance between points in the coordinate plane * find the midpoint of a segment * identify angles and parts of angles * classify angles as acute, obtuse, right and straight * identify and use adjacent angles, vertical angles, complementary angles, supplementary angles, and linear pairs of angles. 2) Students will experience the elements of deductive reasoning. Upon completing this goal the student will be able to: * identify the hypothesis and conclusion of an if-then statement * write the converse of an if-then statement * identify and use basic postulates about points, lines, and planes * use the laws of deductive reasoning * properly write a proof 3) Students will develop an understanding of the relationship between angles formed by a transversal intersection parallel line. Upon completing this goal the student will be able to: * identify the relationships between pairs of angles formed by pairs of lines * * * * and transversals recognize angle conditions that produce parallel lines prove two lines are parallel based on given angle relationships find the slope of a line use slope to identify parallel and perpendicular lines 4) Students will acquire an understanding of congruent triangles and their corresponding parts.
