Prerequisite:
Geometry 9
- Successful completion of Algebra I
Intended Audience: This course is designed for the 9 th
grade student who has successfully completed Algebra I by the end of 8th grade and
does not meet the requirements to enroll in the Honors Geometry course.
Geometry 9 is the course 9th
grade students take after Algebra I, if they do not meet the requirements to enroll in the Honors Geometry
course. Depth, breadth, and pace of this course is accelerated. This course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and
applications of common two and three dimensional geometric figures. This course formalizes what students have learned about geometry
in the middle grades, with a concentration on mathematical reasoning, including exposure to formal proofs. Topics covered focus on the
Pennsylvania Core Standards and include, but are not limited to: coordinate geometry, perimeter, area, surface area and volume, congruent
and similar triangles, right triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles. After successfully completing the course, students will be allowed to enroll
in Algebra II/Trigonometry.
