On the Pearland Junior High West campus, our PAP Geometry courses will often use technology to deliver practice problems, including, but not limited to, using and the online textbook from HRW which can be accessed from the district's online textbook portal. Academic expectations include intellectual and emotional maturity, A or B in prior courses of the same subject, a strong work ethic, excellent time management skills, and work outside of class. Higher level thinking skills, logic and strategy are stressed.Īdvanced Classes receive premium (6) grade points at the high school level, are rigorous, are two to three years above grade level, and prepare students for AP classes and post-high school education/work.

In addition to the topics covered in on-level geometry courses, this course includes symbolic logic, spherical geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, coordinate geometry proofs, direct and indirect proofs, creative constructions, and a research project. Algebra skills are constantly being reinforced through applications including trigonometry ratios and area and volume problem-solving. In Geometry, topics to be studied include logical argument and constructions, coordinate and transformational geometry, proofs and congruence, similarity and trigonometry, two- and three-dimensional figures, and probability.
