Common Core Geometry
Common Core Geometry (MGS21H-MGS22H)
Geometry is a full-year course comprisingthe sequential and cumulative study of geometric definitions, postulates, theorems, and corollaries, implemented through mathematical modeling. The course terminates in a New York State Regents Exam in June.
Topics included in our curriculum are:
- Foundations of Geometry
- Constructions
- Geometric Reasoning
- Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
- Triangle Congruence
- Properties and Attributes of Triangles
- Polygons and Quadrilaterals
- Similarity and Dilations
- Right Triangles and Trigonometry
- Extending Perimeter, Circumference, and Area
- Spatial Reasoning
- Circles
- Extending Transformational Geometry
Students in Geometry will use many of the problem-solving skills developed in Common Core Algebra I. Geometry students are expected to be proficient in the following:
- Solving systems of linear equations
- Simplifying and operating with radicals
- Rationalizing radicals
- Operations of polynomials
- Solving linear and quadratic equations
- Solving and graphing inequalities
- Parabolas: Graphing, finding axis of symmetry and vertex
- Calculating slope of a line
- Write equations of lines
- Finding area and perimeter of simple polygons
- Calculate circumference and area of a circle
- Pythagorean Theorem
Reviewing these concepts prior to September is a wise idea.
