Prerequisite :
Honors Geometry
- Successful completion of Algebra I, Honors Algebra I, or Algebra I Accelerated
- Be in compliance with the
SSD Honors and AP Criteria Policy
Intended Audience: This course is designed for the student who has successfully completed Algebra I by the end of the 8th or 9th
grade.
Honors Geometry follows Honors Algebra I, and is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common two and
three dimensional geometric figures. The honors class is taught at a faster pace, thus allowing time for more difficult problems and
concepts. This course formalizes what students have learned about geometry in the middle grades, with a concentration on mathematical
reasoning and formal proofs. Topics covered focus on the Pennsylvania Core Standards and are parallel to the Geometry 9 and 10 courses,
presenting all the same major topics except with more rigor.
After successfully completing the course, students will be allowed to enroll in Honors Algebra II/ Trigonometry or Algebra II/Trigonometry.
