H S 086 - High School Geometry

5 Credits

High School Geometry guides students in examining the ideas and reasoning involved in measurement and geometric calculation. Students will also study properties of two and three-dimensional shapes; similarity and congruence; geometric constructions; coordinate geometry; transformations; functions; and will practice communicating mathematical ideas. This course fulfills the high school geometry requirement and one high school math credit.

Student Learning Outcomes
State, justify, and use theorems about angles - especially about angles formed when parallel lines are intersected by a transversal.

Solve problems involving the basic Geometric ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent.

Define, compare, and represent prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres.
