Algebra and Geometry in the High School

Catalog description

Provides a conceptually rigorous treatment of the central ideas of algebra and geometry in high school. Explores and develops familiar mathematical content from a very different perspective. Focuses squarely on creating meaning for concepts and on building coherence of meaning across concepts and various representations of them. As such, course activities and assessments (class/lab activities, homework assignments, and exams) reflect these expectations, focusing on both doing high school mathematics with meaning and on expressing and communicating that meaning accurately and coherently in verbal and written form. Prior to enrolling in this course, students should have experience with algebra/geometry to at least the high school level.
