Advanced Geometry - MT220A/B

Learning Recommendations: Students experiencing the most success in this class earned a B+ or higher in Algebra 1. All other students are encouraged to enroll in Geometry.

Students who earned a C or below in Algebra 1 should enroll in Geometry. Note: Advanced Geometry does not have a lab class available.  If students are hoping for lab class support it is recommended they take Geometry and Geometry Lab.

General Description: This advanced level course is a rigorous math class aligned with the Standards for Mathematics. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout this course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

Students earning a B+ or better in Advanced Geometry are best equipped for success in Advanced Algebra 2.  Students earning below a B+ will be encouraged to consider standard level Algebra 2.

See the ISD web site to learn more about options after students complete Geometry to determine if this course best supports your High School and Beyond Plan.

Content: Critical areas include, but are not limited to:

• Congruence and Constructions
• Similarity and Trigonometry
• Three-Dimensional Problem Solving
• Proof and Modeling
• Coordinate Geometry
• Circles
• Applications of Probability

Homework: Daily coursework not completed in class must be completed at home. The daily coursework can vary up to 35 minutes, depending on the student's math knowledge and class time usage. The intent of daily coursework is for practice and feedback, not necessarily for assessing skill. Students typically review the daily coursework in class the next day.
