High school Geometry is the study of points, lines, surfaces, shapes, and 3-dimensional solids and how these elements relate to one another. This course integrates solid geometry with plane geometry, encouraging students to explore both two- and three-dimensional figures. By developing the ability to visualize and analyze spatial relationships, students will build a deeper understanding of how geometry applies to the world around them. In this course, students will also learn to use both traditional and modern technologies, helping them gain practical skills for solving geometric problems. The study of geometry will not only strengthen logical thinking but also highlight its relevance in everyday life, from architecture and engineering to design and art.
The following textbooks and supplies are to be purchased by parents.
