Within this course, students have the opportunity to make conjectures about geometric situations and informally prove that their conclusions follow logically from their hypotheses. Students will justify geometric relationships and properties of geometric figures. Congruence and similarity of triangles will be established using appropriate theorems. Major emphasis of this course is to allow students to analyze and problem-solve geometric situations integrating algebra. Properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles will receive particular attention. It is intended that students will use the traditional tools of compass and straightedge as well as dynamic geometry software that models these tools more efficiently and accurately, to assist in these investigations. Online study notes and guides as well as practice worksheets will be provided.
