Geometry Honors*
Geometry Honors expands the curriculum of the Geometry course to circles, basic trigonometry, polygons, and transformations with emphasis on algebraic problem solving. Students calculate area and volumes of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones and learn about symmetry, rotations, and translations. The course also contains additional topics such as vectors, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and tessellations suitable for the Honors class.
Special Note: A TI-30X or a TI-84+ graphing calculator is required.
*Though internal honors credit is given, the UC does not calculate an honors grade point for this course. Other colleges may assign honors credit.
