Geometry

Geometry- 1 Credit

• Fulfills Foundational and Distinguished Achievement Diploma Requirements

Curriculum:  

This Geometry course using the Denison Math approach offers students a deep, logical, and engaging study of geometric relationships through clear instruction, visual reasoning, and applied problem-solving. Built to cultivate both mastery and meaning, this course guides students in understanding the world through the lens of shapes, measurements, and space—while developing the critical thinking skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Topics include reasoning and proof, properties of lines and angles, triangle congruence, similarity, trigonometry, circles, area, volume, and coordinate geometry. Students learn to construct formal geometric arguments and apply algebraic thinking to spatial problems.

Denison Math places a strong emphasis on building conceptual understanding and mathematical fluency. Lessons are structured in a way that supports both independent learners and those who benefit from guided practice and visual models.
