At My Pace (AMP) Geometry Course Descriptions
Geometry includes all topics in a typical high school geometry course along with formal proofs. Students learn how to apply and calculate measurements of length, height, circumference, area, and volume. In addition, students build on this inductive foundation by developing and applying logical deductive thought to develop proof patterns and mathematical arguments. Through guided discovery, the student will work with key geometry theorems and proofs with focus on the development of critical thinking skills.
Important: Geometry includes a review of basic algebra skills throughout the year and is designed to be taken between the two Algebra courses. The material in Algebra II should be freshly taught to a student entering Pre-Calculus; going from Geometry to Pre-Calculus could be a difficult transition. Thus, HSML strongly recommends the following order of courses: Algebra I - Geometry - Algebra II - Pre-Calculus. It is an option for a student to take Geometry and Algebra II concurrently if their schedule allows for a heavy math year.

Geometry Course Preparedness Document
High School Math Live wants your student to be placed in the appropriate AMP course so that they will be successful and challenged while learning the beauty of mathematics. Our Geometry Course Preparedness Document contains questions we believe will be a good indicator of whether your student is ready for AMP Geometry Course A. Although it is not required that your student complete these problems, it is a helpful tool that we have prepared for you to use. If you are entering the "B" course, and you are unsure if your student is ready for the "B" course, please contact [email protected].
