Foundation III

This course introduces the concepts of geometry. We begin with the Euclidean concepts of two and three dimensional geometric objects along with their measurements of segments, angles, perimeter, area, and volume. Then we move to the Cartesian coordinate system and begin the connection of algebra and geometry.

Topics include: roots of numbers, fractional exponents, measurement of segments, measurement of angles, right triangles, Pythagorean theorem, coordinate systems, distance between points, perimeter, area, volume, polygons, classification of quadrilaterals, parallel lines, angles formed by transversals, polyhedra, Platonic solids, area and circumference of a disc, symmetry, reflections, rotations.
