Geometry
The goal of every mathematics course at TSA is to expose students to systematic thinking. This involves a building block approach that includes mastering basic skills and logical mathematical processes.
Toward this goal, the Geometry course will help students to develop and refine a sense of spatial relationships. Specifically, the course will cover the following topics: geometric art, inductive reasoning, Euclidean constructions, properties of lines, angles, triangles, polygons and circles. Further, we will explore concepts and perform calculations involving area and volume in both English and metric units. Explorations will also include the concept of similarity, tessellations, applications of the Pythagorean Theorem, and an introduction to basic trigonometry.
Throughout the course, we will stress the importance of the fundamentals of mathematical operations. Both the graphing calculator and Geometer’s Sketchpad will be used to speed calculation, and model and visualize concepts.
