HONORS GEOMETRY
Course Description
This course is a geometry course for freshmen students with a strong interest and aptitude in mathematics. Students in this level are encouraged to take four years of math, including Calculus. Although many of the same topics as Geometry I-2 will be covered, this course is intended to be more rigorous and will examine the topics in greater depth. Daily written assignments will be required of all students. Because of the nature of the course, students should expect to spend a considerable amount of time outside of class on assignments. Students may be requested to purchase some geometry supplies. Graphing calculator required: TI-83 or TI-84.
