Students will apply the skills they have learned in Geometry to work through an open-ended problem requiring them to formulate their thinking, think creatively and critically, collaborate, and explain their thinking. 

Problems will include topics such as: Pythagorean Theorem, parts of Circles, Trigonometry, Area, Volume, Constructions, Parts of Triangles.  Although each problem is independent from previous/future sessions, students will have an opportunity to provide input for future topics covered.
 
**This class has no current learners, so the first two learners will be able to determine which week they would like to begin the cycle**
Week 1: Constructions *need protractor/compass/straight edge*
Week 2: Angles
Week 3, 4, 5: Transformations
Week 6, 7: Congruence
Week 8, 9, 10, 11: Similiarity
Week 12: Radicals
Week 13, 14: Trigonometry
Week 15, 16 : Two-Dimensional Geometry
Week 17: Volume
Week 18, 19, 20, 21: Using Algebra in Geometry
Week 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28: Circles

Each session will being with a "bell ringer" to get their minds ready for the section.  They will then be presented a video/picture where they will have an opportunity to formulate their own thinking on the topic and goal of the problem.  They will also be given an opportunity to estimate the solution.  The biggest chuck of time will be spent solving the problem.  They will be able to collaborate or work independently.  We will then share our strategies and watch a video/picture of the solution.

Although I am very involved and believe in a growth mindset, I also believe students should be given time to work using their strategies.  If a student is "stuck" I will encourage them to get as far as they can before I jump in and guide them using THEIR strategy.  I also like to work through the problem with the students.  This allows me hold back from guiding them using MY strategy and giving hints which aren't usually necessary.  

This class requires students to be currently enrolled or previously enrolled in high school Geometry
