               Geometry includes the study of shapes and          and apply the accumulation of learning that
               their connections to the world. Students will      they have from their previous courses. They
               start with the basic figures of point, line, and   apply methods from probability and
               plane to develop and prove theorems as well        statistics to draw inferences and conclusions
               as understand postulates. Key concepts             from data. Students expand their repertoire
               addressed are: transformations and                 of functions to include polynomial, rational,
               symmetry, similarity and congruence, right         and radical functions. They expand their
               triangle trigonometry, properties and              study of right triangle trigonometry to
               measurements of plane figures, three-              include the unit circle.  Finally, students
               dimensional shapes, investigation and proof,       bring together all of their experience with
               geometric construction, and algebra and            functions and geometry to create models and
               probability.  A graphing calculator is             solve contextual problems.  A graphing
