Description: This course is designed to build on the skills learned in Algebra 1 by studying the properties and special relationships of points, lines, planes, and solid figures. Students will learn how to apply deductive and inductive reasoning and how to write basic two column proofs. Other topics that will be covered include, but are not limited to, parallel and perpendicular lines, writing equations of lines, congruent triangles, classifying polygons, relationships within triangles, similarity, right triangles, trigonometric ratios, quadrilaterals, properties of transformations, as well as properties of circles.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to do the following:
- Identify points, lines, and planes and their relationship to each other.
- Properly use a protractor to measure an angle.
- Describe angle pair relationships (complementary, supplementary, vertical).
- Classify polygons based on number of sides and types of angles.
- Find area of 2D figures.
- Determine whether two lines, crossed by a transversal, are parallel based on 8 angle measurements.
- Use deductive and inductive reasoning to analyze conditional statements.
- Apply various theorems and postulates to prove that two triangles are congruent, similar, or neither.
- Find surface area and volume of 3D figures.
- Convert degrees into radians, as well as radians into degrees.
- Utilize the Pythagorean Theorem, in conjunction with the tangent, sine, and cosine ratios to solve right triangles.
Executive Functioning Support
In order to support long term planning, organization, and work completion, the following procedures are in place:
- Classwork is assigned on Google Classroom.
- Classroom routines and procedures are explained and reinforced each class period.
- Assignments include clear, step by step instructions and a timeline for completion.
- Specific skills are practiced daily during class.
- Students are allowed opportunities to improve their grades by correcting quizzes and tests.
Classroom Expectations
