Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. At this time we are submitting new Special Education Math courses that we feel will be beneficial to our students. This course does not meet the A-G guidelines.
Geometry Essentials will formalize and extend students’ geometric experiences from the middle grades. This course includes standards from the conceptual categories of Geometry. In this Geometry Essential course, students explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, presenting and hearing formal mathematical arguments. Important differences exist between this course and the historical approach taken in geometry classes. For the Geometry Essential course, instructional time should focus on the critical areas: (1) establish criteria for congruence of triangles based on rigid motions; (2) establish criteria for similarity of triangles; (3) informally develop explanations of circumference, area, and volume formulas; (4) apply the Pythagorean; and (5) prove basic geometric theorems.
The above course has been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
