Expectations

Welcome to the Geometry: Concepts and Connections Course! Our goal is to help you understand the mathematics your child will be learning in this course. This letter will explain the mathematics expectations and supporting resources to support student learning in the course. For additional support and questions, please contact your child’s teacher at their school. In Geometry: Concepts & Connections is the first required course in high school mathematics.

The mathematical practice standard, G.MP, will allow students to demonstrate skills and strategies needed to succeed in the course, including critical thinking, reasoning, effective collaboration and expression. Students should be able to use the content learned in this course to create a mathematical model to explain real-life phenomena. Students should be able to navigate fluently between mathematical representations that are presented numerically, algebraically, and graphically. Students should also be able to determine, identify, and use appropriate quantities for representing the situation.
