This course includes emphasis on two- and three-dimensional reasoning skills, coordinate and transformational geometry, and the use of geometric models to solve problems. A variety of real-world applications and general problem-solving techniques, including Algebra skills, are used to implement these standards. Graphing utilities, computers, dynamic geometry software, and other appropriate technology tools will be used. Geometry, in two parts, is offered for students who need additional time to complete the Geometry curriculum. Geometry, Part 1 and Geometry, Part 2 are each year-long classes. Schools may double block the courses so that they meet every day for a full block of time over a full year or offer them over two years. This course has an associated Standards of Learning (SOL) test. Students will participate in these tests only when they have not yet earned sufficient credit for graduation and/or satisfied federal testing requirements.
Prerequisites
Students with disabilities eligible for credit accommodations may receive two math credits for completing both courses. If they have also taken Parts 1 and 2 of Algebra 1, they would receive three math credits and one elective credit for the four parts of the two courses.
