Geometry - The Basics & Beyond

The demand for my basics course was so high, I decided to expand it and charge a small fee for the extra time and effort for pulling these lectures and external resources together. The first expansion includes explanation and practice for about a quarter of the Common Core standards. Specifically it includes all the "Congruence" standards which encompasses the new focus on transformations as well as a lot of traditional two column proofs.

Eventually I hope to make it to make it through all of the Common Core standards - either here or in other courses. THE BASICS - The original Course: Having taught Geometry for almost a decade, I've learned that one of the biggest challenges is simply the vocabulary. This first (and original) section is a very broad overview of Geometry and the language that it uses.

If you've never heard this vocabulary, this will introduce it. If you have, this will reinforce it and put it into context. Said another way there are a few different kinds of students who would benefit from this section: Those who are about to take Geometry Those who are taking Geometry and want a review or another perspective Those who are curious as to the overall nature of Geometry but not wanting to take time for an entire course Some of the vocabulary and concepts discussed are used in every day conversations, whereas others are specialized and not usually found in everyday conversation (I'm looking at you, hypotenuse.

). Some of these terms SHOULD be familiar while others will not be. The course also includes a lot outside resources to practice as well as Udemy-style quizzes.
