Learn the foundational skills of Geometry -- including two- and three-dimensional shapes, lines, rays, and figures in a plane -- and use deductive and analytical reasoning, logic, and problem solving with clear illustrations of all equations.

How to get the most out of  Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding (Jacob’s), Part Two with Monica Breier:

• Have a notebook, compass, straightedge, and protractor ready and available for each live session or video lesson.

• Stay on top of assignments! Each video will begin assuming completion of the day before's task(s).

• Do the assignments, quizzes, and any extra work assigned for that week.

• Use the weekly checklist for the order of assignments and assessments. Make sure to check off items as you go!

• Once the course is completed to the parent's and professor’s satisfaction, there is a Certificate of Completion at the end to be filled in for your records.

Special Notes: This is Part Two of a two-part course. Students are welcomed to join us midyear if there are open seats and they have the prerequisite. Mrs. Breier provides daily recorded lectures for the remaining weekly lessons in addition to the 14 live classes.

Total Classes: 14
Duration: 55 minutes per live class
Class Dates: Wednesdays, January 8 to April 23, 2025. (No class on March 5 or April 16)

Starting Time: 2:30 PM Eastern (1:30 Central; 12:30 Mountain; 11:30 Pacific)

Prerequisite: Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding, Part One or equivalent
Suggested Grade Level: 9th to 11th grade
Suggested Credit: One full semester of Math or Geometry

Instructor: Monica Breier

Course Description: This course continues the rigor of developing logical reasoning and critical thinking through proofs and constructions. Students will focus this semester on sharpening their deductive reasoning strategies to understand area, similarity, circles and polygons, solids, and discuss non-Euclidean geometry. They will continue to hone their cognitive skills necessary for logical thinking as young adults.

Course Outline:

Week 1: Area
Week 2: Similarity
Week 3-4: The Right Triangle
Week 5-6: Circles
Week 7-8: The Concurrence Theorems
Week 9-10: Regular Polygons and the Circle
Week 11-12: Geometric Solids
Week 13-14: Non-Euclidean Geometries

Course Materials: Geometry: Seeing, Doing, and Understanding by Harold Jacob, ISBN 0716743612 or 1683442547 (https://amzn.to/2Py3Zat or bookfinder.com), compass, protractor, ruler, graph paper, and a scientific calculator.

Homework: Daily assignments (aside from test days) taking 20-30 minutes, with weekly quizzes or tests.
Fee: For all 14 classes plus recorded lectures: $237 if you register on or before November 15, $257 if you register after November 15. (Registration closes one week before the first day of class. After that date, registrations are not guaranteed. There is a $20 surcharge for late enrollments after the course is closed.)
