This course is the second high school math credit students need to earn for graduation. Geometry builds on geometric and algebraic concepts students were exposed to from kindergarten through Algebra I. Geometry is a visual math course that focuses on shapes and their properties. In addition to the applications in construction, visual arts, technology and design, geometry helps students develop logical reasoning skills and precise mathematical language. These skills will support student success in creating strong argumentative essays in future English courses. Students generally choose Algebra II as the next math course. Financial Math or Algebraic Reason-ing may be suitable choices if the student is not ready for Algebra II.
In Geometry Honors, students will begin to experience an inquiry-based learning format. Teachers will ask students to explore ideas and then create conjectures based on the patterns they observe. Students generally choose OnRamps Algebra II Honors (College Algebra) as the next math course. Algebra II (on level) may be a suitable choice if the student is not ready for the rigor or responsibilities of the OnRamps Algebra II Honors (College Algebra) course. Strong math students may also choose IB Math in their junior/senior years.
