Geometry
Instructor: Linda Brown
Text: Prentice Hall, Geometry :Tools for a Changing World
Overview of Course:
This program is a hands-on approach to Geometry. There are some
proofs, but the focus is more on concepts and solving problems.
The activities emphasize the discovery of concepts through the
use of concrete materials. This text also gives practice in
standardized test questions, in preparation for the SAT. The
students will be evaluated by the homework and class work, the
tests on each chapter, and a final exam.
