Gifted Geometry

The Gifted Geometry class is designed to provide challenging mathematics for 7th and 8th grade students who need greater depth and breadth in their approach to learning mathematics.  This course uses the Discovering Geometry:  An Investigative Approach curriculum.  It is for students who are looking for a challenging, fast-paced environment to explore mathematics.

Students explore geometric relationships with a wide variety of tools, including compasses, computers, and graphing calculators. Instead of just memorizing rules and definitions, students perform constructions, measure figures, observe patterns, discuss their findings, write their own definitions, and formulate their own geometric conjectures.
