Algebra/Geometry II - CP
This course is designed for the student with a C or better grade in Algebra/Geometry 1 and is proficient on a practice HSPA. The course is a one year course covering one semester of Algebra and one semester of Geometry. The Algebra segment introduces the student to algebra in a plane, linear sentences, linear systems, and functions.
The Geometry segment of the course, presented during the second semester of the school year, covers approximately one-third of a one-year Geometry course. It introduces the student to a method of logical reasoning and provides a setting in which to apply the logic.
Minimal proficiencies which must be mastered for the student to receive 5 credits for this course are:
- Solving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations with rational expressions.
- Locate and plot points in a plane.
- Find slope of lines and line segments.
- Write an equation of a line.
- Solve a system of equations.
- Solve problems involving functions and relation.
- Define basic geometric terms.
- Develop an understanding of the nature of proof by using deductive reasoning, inductive thinking, and indirect proof.
- Prove theorems from basic postulates and definitions.
- State and apply theorems and/or postulates and definitions.
- Write two-column proofs involving segments, angles, triangles, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines.
- Develop an understanding of statistics a probability and will use them to describe sets of data, model situations, and support appropriate inferences and arguments.
