I believe Geometry must be taught in an interactive manner. The overall goal of Geometry is to build deductive reasoning and logic and in order to achieve this the student needs to be challenged to build mathematical arguments to support their work. My class is structured to do this. I will provide formatted notes and homework for each lesson. The students should be prepared with basic construction tools, ruler, compass and protractor and paper for constructions for each class. I am available outside of the scheduled class time to address student questions. This is my intended syllabus for the entire course. Please understand that I will adjust my pace to compliment each cohort of students. Weeks will coordinate with the start date of the class. Weeks One and Two – Foundations of Geometry, Week 1 : Euclidean and Construction Tools, -Define, measure and construct points, lines, planes, and angles Week 2 : Coordinate and Transformation Tools- Geometric formulas and transformations in the coordinate plane. Weeks Three and Four – Geometric Reasoning Week 3: Inductive and Deductive Reasoning - Using inductive reasoning to make conjectures and deductive reasoning to verify conjectures, conditional statements. Week 4; Mathematical Proof - Algebraic, geometric and flowchart proof; intro to Symbolic Logic Weeks Five and Six – Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Weeks Seven and Eight – Triangle Congruence Weeks Nine and Ten – Properties and Attributes of Triangles Weeks Eleven and Twelve – Polygons and Quadrilaterals Weeks Thirteen and Fourteen – Similarity Weeks Fifteen and Sixteen – Right Triangles and Trigonometry Weeks Seventeen and Eighteen – Transformations Geometry Weeks Nineteen and Twenty – Perimeter, Circumference and Area Weeks Twenty-one and Twenty-two - Circles
Learning Goals
The students will:
- use geometry definitions, thereoms and postulates to build mathematical arguements
- use constructions to support definitions, postulates and theorems
- use lines, polygons and circles as structures to build deductive reasoning
