The Geometry RC course is designed for students to learn mathematics by understanding the concepts behind it. Through investigations, students discover many important mathematical principles and realize that they can recreate their discoveries should they ever forget a fundamental concept.

Discovering Geometry: An Investigative Approach is the textbook we are using in order to help to make all students become successful while learning Geometry using a new approach.

The following comes from the publisher, Key Curriculum Press®, and more information can be found at http://www.keymath.com/DG/parents/index.html

Energetic, Discovery-Based Learning

Michael Serra's Discovering Geometry will energize your geometry classroom, involving your students and making them active participants in their own learning.

bulletStudents discover and explore geometric relationships using a wide variety of tools, from compasses and straightedges to computers and graphing calculators.
bulletStudents learn theorems and definitions by performing constructions, measuring figures, relating patterns and properties, and discussing their findings.
bulletCarefully constructed investigations guide students to write and utilize their own definitions and formulate their own geometric conjectures.

Motivating and Lively Curriculum

Filled with appealing graphics and lively writing, Discovering Geometry draws students in—and the real-world applications, puzzles, and extensions keep them involved and thinking.

In addition, the book's focus on critical problem-solving skills helps students become self-motivated, independent thinkers.

Teachers using Discovering Geometry see their classrooms transformed into exciting forums filled with enthusiastic problem solvers.

The Teaching Resources Package provides comprehensive support to enrich learning and to make your teaching experience more rewarding.
