Geometry 1

Geometry 1 begins with the basic ingredients of geometry and students will be introduced to a range of geometric concepts such as symmetry and congruence. Students will also study these concepts in the two-dimensional cartesian coordinate system as well as computing area and perimeter of geometric shapes. 

Students will learn points, lines and angles, properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, special types of triangles, special types of quadrilaterals, similarity and congruence properties, area and perimeter, and the co-ordinate plane.

This course places a heavy emphasis on developing the student’s geometric intuition via visualizations and drawings before the student embarks on more rigorous proof-based geometry courses.
