SCCC GEOMETRY

Course Number:

412200HW

Course Description:
** Current Catalog Description: SCCC Geometry includes the study of shapes, their properties and relationships. Emphasis is on discovery, exploration and formulating and defending conjectures. It includes an in-depth study of reasoning, polygons, congruence, similarity, right triangles, circles, area, volume, and transformations. Students use a variety of approaches: coordinate, transformational, and axiomatic systems and discover the connections between geometry and disciplines such as art and architecture. Students use graphing calculators.

SCCC Geometry includes the study of properties, relationships and applications of geometric figures in two and three dimensions. Topics emphasized are logical reasoning, proofs, parallel lines, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, similarity, congruent figures, translation combinations, trigonometry, tangent lines and geometric probabilities. Techniques used to solve geometry problems and to write property related proofs include discovery, exploration, formulating and defending conjectures using inductive and deductive reasoning. Students use a variety of approaches including coordinate, transformational, and axiomatic systems to discover the connections between geometry and other real world disciplines, such as art and architecture. Students use graphing calculators.

**The highlighted section is the recommended course description for Honors Geometry to include changes in the new standards and differentiate between the CP and Honors level.
