Geometry

The WTMA Geometry course is a full-year course that adopts a traditional approach to introducing geometry. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics including points, lines, and planes; triangles, perimeter, and area; constructions; quadrilaterals; polygons; circles; three-dimensional geometry; curved surfaces; transformations; analytical geometry; and an introduction to trigonometry. A particular focus of the course is on the two-column proof and applying the concepts to problem-solving.

The course has a prerequisite of successful completion of WTMA Algebra I or a similar algebra course. Students must have proficiency in solving linear equations, simplifying fractions containing algebraic expressions, multiplying polynomials and binomials, solving polynomial equations, and solving inequalities.
