Geometry Grades 10-12 Print Credit Recovery
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. In this course, you will explore and review various math concepts such as points, lines, and planes. You will look at a variety of angles and polygons. While comparing these, you will find area and volume as well as missing measurements. You will also learn to calculate various aspects of angles. All these functions and calculations will help you develop deductive reasoning skills necessary for future math courses.
Required but not provided: ruler, protractor and compass.
