Geometry A
In Geometry A, students will become familiar with the language of geometry, area and perimeter, inductive and deductive reasoning, geometric construction, geometric proof, angle properties, properties of parallel and perpendicular lines, coordinate geometry, triangle congruence, properties of triangles, and properties of quadrilaterals.
Geometry B
In Geometry B, students will continue their work with inductive and deductive reasoning, including proof-writing, and will become familiar with geometric similarity; solving right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem, special right triangles, and basic trigonometry; perimeter, area, surface area, and volume; the effect of dimensional changes on perimeter, area, and volume measurements; theorems involving secants, tangents, chords, inscribed angles, and inscribed and circumscribed polygons in circles; and transformations in the plane and in space. Problem solving will lead the path through which these concepts are learned.
All courses are written to California Department of Education
