Online Geometry Concepts Course
Northgate Academy’s Geometry Concepts course offers students a comprehensive understanding of geometry, starting with basic definitions and building towards complex applications. The course begins by establishing a foundation in the essential elements of geometry, such as points, lines, and planes, and progresses to explore logic, reasoning, and the construction of proofs. Students learn to work with various shapes and figures, delving into properties like congruence, area, perimeter, volume, surface area, and similarity. This structured approach allows for the application of algebraic knowledge to geometric concepts, with the course culminating in studies of circle properties and an introduction to Trigonometry.
Throughout the course, learners are equipped to identify and apply geometric postulates, theorems, and properties, solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem, and understand the geometry of circles and basic Trigonometry. The curriculum is designed to enhance spatial reasoning skills and enable students to apply these concepts to both academic and real-world problems. This course prepares students for further studies in mathematics by providing a solid foundation in geometry and its applications.

Geometry Concepts Course Syllabus
This course begins with review and introduction of definitions of the building blocks of geometry. Students develop a strong foundation of working with definitions, postulates, and axioms. They will explore logic as it relates to mathematics, reasoning, and proofs. Course content helps the learner cultivate a strong sense of working with figures and shapes of all forms, and expands their ideas into real life problems. Strong spatial reasoning skills are taught as students explore different properties of shapes and figures including congruence, area, perimeter, volume, surface area, and similarity. These new ideas provide learners a place to continually apply their accumulated Algebra knowledge and skills. The course concludes with examining the many properties related to circles, and an introduction to Trigonometry.
