Geometry for Credit Recovery
Pre-Requisites: Students must combine a previous attempt of Geometry with a passing score in this course to receive credit for high school graduation.
Credits: 1.0
Estimated Completion Time: 10 weeks per segment
Description
Geometry is everywhere, not just in pyramids. Engineers use geometry to build highways and bridges. Artists use geometry to create perspective in their paintings, and mapmakers help travelers find things using the points located on a geometric grid. Throughout this course, students travel a mathematical highway illuminated by spatial relationships, reasoning, connections, and problem solving.
