Open
to: 9, 10 Length: 1 year Credit: 1.0
Students
are expected to resolve more challenging problems and more rigorous forms of
proofs. Topics include definition and
applications of the geometrical system, logic and critical thinking, roots,

Geometry. It has a stronger emphasis on
student discovery by using a hands-on approach and computer activities with
less emphasis on formal proofs. NOTE: Most students completing
this class would continue into Finite Math. It would be possible for a student to go to Algebra 2, with teacher
recommendation only. (Prerequisite: teacher recommendation required. Algebra 1 or Sequential
