ABE 086 - ABE 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.
