ROCK, PAPER, GEOMETRY!
This course aims to formalize and extend the geometry that students have learned in previous courses. It does this by focusing on establishing triangle congruence criteria using rigid motions and formal constructions, building a formal understanding of similarity based on dilations and proportional reasoning, developing the concepts of formal proofs, exploring the properties of two and three dimensional objects, working within the rectangular coordinate system to verify geometric relationships, proving theorems about circles, and using the language of set theory to compute and interpret probabilities for compound events.
