Course topics are as follows:

Week 1: Lines and Angles
Week 2: Right Triangles
Week 3: Congruence and Similarity
Week 4: Other Similarity and Transformations
Week 5: Quadrilaterals and Circles
Week 6: Surface Areas and Volumes
Week 7: Additional Topics and Review

Course Structure

Students will build confidence by in-class practice and refresh their comprehension of topics by watching video tutorials and maintaining a comprehensive, guided theorem note sheet. Instruction will be provided in pre-recorded videos and weekly live problem-solving sessions. Grades will be based on in-class practice, homework worksheets, automated quizzes and open-ended scanned tests. No text is required for this course; all worksheets, activities, and solutions will be provided by the teacher. A scientific calculator is required.
