Geometry introduces geometric reasoning as a method for problem solving. Throughout the first nine sessions, you will explore the properties of geometric figures, make constructions using pencil and paper and dynamic software, practice using mathematical language to express ideas and justify your reasoning, and begin to explore the basis of formal mathematical proofs and solid geometry. The course material progresses from more visual, intuitive ways of solving problems to more formal explorations of geometric ideas, properties, and, finally, proofs. The 10th session explores ways to apply the concepts of geometry you've learned in K-8 classrooms.
