Geometry is the study of visual patterns. The emphasis in this course will be on understanding the patterns of geometric concepts such as symmetry, shape, congruence, measurement, area, volume, and similarity. It will also be important to interpret and communicate the results of geometric investigations. In other words, you will be asked to read carefully, write well, and make careful drawings in addition to “doing math.” Geometry is a two-semester course.
