Geometry is, essentially, the study of logic. Logical and critical thinking are of paramount importance in these days of information overload. Who claims this “truth”? What authority do they have? What are they trying to sell? Geometry teaches discernment skills as well as practical skills like how much paint you need to cover a wall. Topics include parallel lines, triangle theorems, congruence and similarity, quadrilaterals, circles, right triangles, area, volume, and coordinate geometry.
