This exploratory Geometry course builds up the skills needed in high school mathematics, such as problem visualization and critical thinking, while also reviewing previous mathematical concepts. The primary goal in Geometry is to help student learn how to prove theorems in a mathematically and logically sound way, while also showing real life applications of the concepts learned. This course is suggested for students who have finished an Algebra 1 or equivalent course and will be a primer for the year to come. It is not recommended as a review course, but may function as one.
Date: July 20 – August 7 (3 weeks)
Time: Mon–Fri 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Online
