Geometry
Geometry is the study of geometric concepts using Algebra 1 math. Technology [graphing calculators and software programs] is used to explore and demonstrate geometric concepts when appropriate. Visualization skills and modeling are use for plane and three-dimensional objects. Major topics include: basic geometric concepts, reasoning and proofs, similarity, right triangles and trigonometry, angles and parallel lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, congruency in terms of rigid motions and similarity transformations, area, surface area, and volume. Embedded in this course are the 8 mathematical principles as outlined in the Montana Common Core document.
Prerequisites: Algebra 1 skills as well as General Math through the 8th grade

The main purpose of this class is to make sure that each students will learn the Montana State Standards. This class will provide whatever time or extra help needed to learn all the following standards:
- Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
- Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
- Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
- Model with mathematics.
- Use appropriate tools strategically.
- Attend precision.
- Look for and make use of structure.
- Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
