Course Title

Geometry

Course Description

This course will allow students the chance to relate mathematics to real-life situations and careers. It will build logical reasoning capabilities as well as give students an opportunity to justify conclusions in a structured manner. Students will analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes. They will use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems. Throughout the course students connect the algebra skills previously developed to the geometric concepts. The CareerTech Geometry is a rigorous course that prepares students for higher-level mathematics. It was developed by a group of mathematics instructors while correlating it with NCTM Standards (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) and the Oklahoma PASS Objectives (Priority Academic Student Skills).
