Honors Geometry

Grade 10
Written By Peter Friedman

Honors Geometry Online High School Course

COURSE LENGTH:

Full Year (30 Sessions)

COURSE OVERVIEW:

This is an honors level Geometry course consisting of a total of 11 modules.  The modules will be covered in 30 synchronous sessions.  Students will be assessed on their ability to complete calculations, as well as their ability to explain the concepts that they have learned.  Assignments will be given after every synchronous session, while assessments will be given, in general, after every three synchronous sessions.  Students who have successfully completed Algebra I will learn to apply those skills to Geometry concepts.

In this honors-level course, asynchronous assignments will require students to practice multiple skills and will often have multiple steps of parts. Students in this honors-level course are expected to complete asynchronous work fully and on time and to participate regularly during synchronous sessions. Students will be asked to reflect often on their learning. 

Honors Geometry uses Desmos classroom and a Savvas Realize online textbook, which is integrated with Canvas. Teachers will instruct students how to access both during the first synchronous session.

For this class, students should have access to a ruler, compass, and protractor.  Students are also strongly encouraged to purchase either a TI-83 Plus or TI-84 Plus graphing calculator.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

In addition to learning the mathematical concepts covered in this course, students will learn the importance of critical thinking, persevering through difficult problems and concepts, justifying their calculations and process, and understanding the unique language of mathematics.  After the completion of the course, students will have learned and have a strong understanding of the following topics:

  • Foundational Geometry Concepts

  • Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

  • Transformations

  • Triangle Congruence

  • Relationships in Triangles

  • Quadrilaterals and Other Polygons

  • Similarity

  • Right Triangles and Trigonometry

  • Coordinate Geometry

  • Circles

  • Two and Three-Dimensional Models
