Accelerated Geometry is a rigorous, accelerated course in high school geometry taught at the level of The Overlake School’s year-long Honors Geometry course. This course focuses on providing fundamental insight into an axiomatic geometry system, the development of logical and critical thinking skills, and communication with precise mathematical language. This is a fast-paced course with daily assignments and assessments. The course covers all topics covered by The Overlake School’s Honors Geometry curriculum.
Students taking this course are expected to have completed at least one year of algebra and be well-versed in solving systems of linear equations and quadratic equations. This is an accelerated, credit-granting course designed for highly capable, motivated, organized, and self-driven students for the purpose of advancing in their mathematics studies; it is not designed for enrichment, preparation for a year-long geometry course, or remediation.
