Course Details

Geometry with Trigonometry is a course designed to meet the needs of students continuing in our Honors Math Program. These students will be taking Geometry in an accelerated fashion with Trigonometry at the end of the year. The course will cover all of the requirements of Geometry by exploring lines, circles, polygons, and solids and their properties, constructions, how to formulate conjectures and proofs, and how to develop formulas for area, surface area, and volume, etc. On top of the trigonometry explored when studying triangles, right triangles, and the Pythagorean Theorem, students will be presented with all six trigonometric functions. They will be expected to know radian and degree measure, use a unit circle and a calculator to find the values of the regular and inverse trigonometric functions, graph them in a coordinate plane, and prove trigonometric identities. Students will learn how to use the properties explored in Geometry and Trigonometry and further their abilities in arguing their findings through proofs and mathematical statements.

Prerequisite: C- or better in Accelerated Algebra.
