One thing that many students find they like is that geometry is less abstract and more visual than algebra – easier to 'see' what is going on in the problems. For some of this class we will focus on what people usually picture when they think of geometry: topics like area, perimeter and volume, measuring angles, and using triangles to find the heights of tree and buildings. You know, stuff you can use in the real world out there. About 2/3 of the class covers problems that are not designed to necessarily be directly usable in the real world, but are instead exercises so students can explore and practice the process of solving problems in general. We will spend a significant amount of time on proofs and logic, which helps students consider how we know the things we know, and how to build on knowledge we’ve learned before ..... | Visit our staff page for instructor bios: https://learnbeyondthebook.com/our-team/ | Open | $439 (Includes all registration fees and materials) | 16 weeks | 80 minutes per class | 1:00pm-2:20pm | Trailer Big Room | 09/07/23 | 01/18/24 | 16 | 80 | 14,15,16,17,18 | $21/hr; $27/wk; $110/mo | Engineering, DIY Projects, Accelerated Math&Engineering, Cooking, Photography, Video Production | Math | Semester class | ||
