Students will formalize the geometric concepts students learned in middle school, and expand their knowledge of Euclidean geometry. Students deepen their understanding of geometric relationships and prove them in different ways. Topics include: congruence, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, transformations, area and volume. This course includes a comprehensive review of Algebra to prepare students for Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry. Students can still access the honors level in future years from this course and are recommended to begin here if they have mastered fewer than 5 of the 7 Algebra strands as assessed in their algebra class.
- Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of both semesters Algebra
- Students self-report spending an average of 1.5 hours a week outside of school on this course
- This is a college prep course
Should I take this course?
If the brainwork of Geometry H is too much for you, you can choose this math course. Note that it will be less rigorous than you might expect from a PAUSD math course, as it is correlated to the lower-level state standards.
