Middle School Curriculum

This course provides an introduction to Euclidean Geometry by examining geometric figures in two and three dimensions. Algebraic methods are reviewed and used in geometric applications. Topics include deductive reasoning, parallel lines and planes, triangles, congruence, polygons, and inequalities. We will also introduce the proof process to include two-column and indirect proofs. In addition, we will investigate applications of similarity, Pythagorean theorem, special right triangles, right triangle trigonometry, circles, area, surface area and volume of solids and coordinate geometry.
