COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course parallels the Geometry 10-12 curriculum. However, it is accelerated and involves a variety of enrichment activities, more thought-provoking problems, and demands a deeper understanding of the material. It includes coverage of more elaborate proofs of triangles, and real world activities on surface area, and volume, and trigonometry. Students can expect to review algebra concepts including learning advanced factoring techniques and solving systems of equations with three variables. There will be approximately an hour of homework every day.
