This course explores the relationship between geometry, algebra, art, and technology. Starting with the fundamental geometric constructions using a compass and straightedge, students then expand on these concepts to create their own designs both by hand and by using The Geometer’s Sketchpad® software to create geometry-based artwork such as spirals, fractals, perspective drawings, and even animations. Students will review and apply many algebraic solving techniques as well as geometry principles in order to make deeper connections with the constructions that they do. This will give students the opportunity to reinforce algebraic skills and geometric conceptual understanding that are necessary for success in Algebra 2. Students will also focus on articulating math concepts precisely, an important practice that is greatly emphasized by the Common Core.
Prerequisite: Completion of Geometry or Integrated Math II.
