Geometry

In this course, students investigate the properties of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. Students will learn to make formal mathematical arguments about geometrical situations and apply their understanding of geometrical principles to real-world situations. Topics covered include the foundations of geometry, transformations, congruence, similarity, right triangles, trigonometry, solid geometry, analytic geometry, and circles.

To successfully complete this course, students will need access to a laptop or desktop computer with a reliable internet connection and a working webcam and microphone.

In addition, this course may require purchase of texts or other course materials.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.

During the course orientation period, CLI asks students to complete a survey on their availability for live class meetings. Teachers set individual class meeting times based on student responses.
