Honors Geometry

Course Description


Students will study the properties of figures such as triangles, parallelograms, squares, and circles as they would in Plane Geometry. In addition, two-column proofs, applications of geometric concepts, and problem solving will be given greater emphasis than in Plane Geometry. Techonology will be used as a tool to build and investigate figures and diagrams.
