Geometry: Geometry is the study of the mathematics of the physical world. The course emphasizes the connection between theory and the practical/technical application. Many hands-on activities are included to discover and apply the concepts. Topics covered include: undefined terms/basic concepts, angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, logic, triangles, quadrilaterals, other polygons, right triangles, circles, and three dimensional shapes, as time permits. Formal proof in included on a limited basis. (Prerequisites: C or better in Algebra 1 or both Algebra A and B.)
Algebra B: This is the second course in a two year application based program. The course is designed to apply, integrate and connect Algebraic concepts to real world situations. Topics include: Coordinate geometry, systems of equations, polynomials, factoring, quadratics, powers and root functions, rational expressions, statistics and probability, and geometry concepts.
