MA 3143: Geometry

Geometry is designed to help students understand the basic structure of geometry and apply geometric concepts and skills in authentic situations. The course focuses on the development of problem-solving skills and the acquisition of mathematical vocabulary and symbols. The active engagement of students along with the use of manipulatives and technology, such as computer programs and calculators, will allow students to develop an understanding of the geometric principles they are learning. Topics include reasoning and proof, lines and their relationships, triangles and their relationships, and polygons and quadrilaterals. Students will gain an appreciation of the structure of geometry and develop powers of spatial visualization. Students enrolled in this course may need to take the Geometry End-of-Course test. Students cannot receive credit for both Geometry (MA 3143) and Geometry Honors (MA 3225).
