MAT1000: Geometry

05/01/2024 to 05/30/2025 • Modified 04/23/2024

Course Description

This year-long course combines the skills of algebraic thinking with the abstract concepts of plane geometry to give a good foundation in mathematical logical thinking and the skills needed to develop sequential proofs. Students will explore and practice inductive and deductive reasoning, the Pythagorean Theorem, properties and principles related to polygons, and a more detailed look at trigonometric ratios. Students will have access to engaging multimedia video lectures, notes pages for each lesson summarizing the video content, practice problems, and assessments.
