Math with Ms. Lyon

Goals for Geometry Students:

 

Upon completing this geometry course, you should be able to:

​

• pose mathematical questions, such as “What if…?”, meaningfully and appropriately.

• make conjectures and test their validity.

• recognize and represent patterns mathematically or verbally.

• appreciate geometry as a connected, systematic branch of mathematics.

• apply geometry to solve problems in both mathematical and real-world contexts.

• critique a logical argument.

• communicate mathematically and formulate complete logical arguments to support conclusions.

• use algebra to formulate and solve equations arising from geometric situations both on and off a coordinate grid.

• exhibit creativity and perseverance in mathematical problem solving, with the ability to determine when an approach is not working and a new direction is needed.
