Honors Geometry: In this course students are introduced to Euclidean Geometry, its theoretical and practical aspects. Topics covered include angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, congruent triangles, triangle inequalities, quadrilaterals, similar polygons, circles, areas of polygons and circles, areas and volumes of solids and constructions.  Prerequisites: successful completion of Honors Algebra I or departmental approval. This course will be taught by Ms. Makowski (226 - Honors Geometry).
With departmental approval, incoming CHC freshmen may register for Honors Geometry as well.
Geometry: In this course students are introduced to Euclidean Geometry, its theoretical and practical aspects. Students develop logical reasoning skills by completing geometric proofs. Topics covered include angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, congruent triangles, triangle inequalities, quadrilaterals, similar polygons, circles, areas of polygons and circles, and volumes of solids. Special care is taken to relate course material for preparation for the SAT exams. Prerequisites: successful completion of Algebra I, rising sophomore or junior. Please note: no incoming freshmen may enroll in this course. This class will be taught by Mrs. Riley-Weir (222-College Prep Geometry)

Passing this course satisfies a Geometry course for CHC credit.  Due to the nature of the course with counting for academic credit, students are NOT allowed to miss class.  These classes will complete a year worth of material in seven weeks.  If vacationing during the weeks that the classes are meeting, it is best not to take the course and complete it during the normal academic year. If you are a student from another school, it is the student's responsibility to check with your school to see if they will accept our class for credit.
