This year we will start by covering the basics of geometry, including lines, rays, segments, and angles. Next we will be introduced to multi-step reasoning and proofs in geometry. We will then cover angle relationships, perpendicular, and parallel lines. Following that we will begin polygons, starting with triangles, and moving into quadrilaterals, dealing with trasformation, similarity and congruency of each. We also cover area, perimiter, and volume, as well as an introduction to trigonometry. Lastly we will learn about circles, specidically inscribed angles, radii, chords, arc lengths, and sectors.
