Geometry

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course provides a strong mathematical foundation in geometry. Concepts covered in the course include the nature of reasoning, lines and angles, triangle congruence, inequalities, parallel lines, quadrilaterals, transformations, area, similarity, the right triangle, circles, concurrence theorems, regular polygons, and geometric solids. In addition, students master two-column and paragraph proofs and complete various constructions.

All 7th grade students and all students who are either new to Star or taking their first junior high or high school math course with us will be required to take a math placement test.  This assessment will be specific to the course in which the student is being enrolled and requires a passing score of 70% or better to sustain enrollment in the course.  Testing will take place in early summer.  You will be contacted to sign up for a date and time.
