This proof-based geometry course, covers concepts typically offered in a full-year honors geometry course. To supplement the lessons in the textbook, videos, online interactives, assessments and projects provide students an opportunity to develop mathematical reasoning, critical thinking skills, and problem solving techniques to investigate and explore geometry. Students are also introduced to a dynamic software tool, GeoGebra, through projects that they create. Additionally, students are invited to participate and ask questions in an open Help Room guided by instructors.
Each student is assigned to a CTY instructor to help them during their course. Students can contact their instructors via email with any questions or concerns at any time. Live one-on-one online review sessions can be scheduled as well to prepare for the graded assessments, which include homework, chapter tests, and a cumulative midterm and final.
