Intergrated Geometry

At Bow High School, Integrated Geometry is the second of a sequence of three courses that will cover the curriculum of a traditional Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II sequence using a non-traditional approach. The philosophy of the sequence is that algebraic thought, geometric thought, and data analysis are naturally connected. Successful completion of the three-year sequence will prepare students to pursue Pre-Calculus. Integrated Geometry is a course in which students will study the relationships among shapes and solids with the primary focus on Euclidean geometry and coordinate geometry. Topics include perimeter, area, volume, probability topics, ratio and proportion, similarity, congruence, constructions, trigonometry, circles, properties of two and three dimensional shapes, and introductory logical reasoning. In addition, problem solving strategies, probability, and communication of mathematics in both written and oral form, and the appropriate use of technology such as graphing calculators, animations, and online simulations are strands which will permeate the entire course.
