California State University, Northridge Summer Academic Enrichment Program Geometry Skills Course Overview: “Geometry Skills” reinforces skills from Algebra I and introduces new skills from Geometry. It also develops logical thinking by providing the basics of deductive and inductive reasoning. Course Description: This class is designed to introduce Geometric concepts to those who have not taken Geometry or to strengthen concepts that need reinforcement for those who have had Geometry. Course Goals and Objectives 1. Goal: To develop analytical problem solving skills such as trying to see the _ problem as a whole and plan a solution. Objective: Weave problem solving skills into the daily rigors of geometry through class discussion, explorations and assignments. Objective: Analysis and interpretation of information will be stressed as the student recognizes similarities and differences between problems. Objective: Differentiation of difficulty will be accomplished by varying degrees of challenging problems assigned. 2. Goal: To effectively communicate mathematical ideas by listening, reading, speaking _ and writing. Objective: Deductive reasoning, analysis, interpretation and synthesis of geometric ideas will be clearly and concisely expressed between the student himself or herself and to the teacher as proofs are discussed. Course Outline: The student who completes the geometry course will know and understand the core materials in the outline below. I. Exploration and overview of geometry. A. Develop an awareness of the structure of a mathematical system, connecting definitions and postulates. B. Recognize that the study of geometry was developed for a variety of
