Welcome to the Geometry page. If you’re here it’s probably because you are one of my students (or you need a brush-up on your Geometry). I will be posting cool geometry stuff here such as links, examples, and the current syllabus.
GEOMETRY: the mathematics of the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.
Proposed Syllabus patrick.carr@mnps.org
Carr/Smith Geometry Classes sharon.e.smith@mnps.org
GEOMETRY: a way for teaching deductive reasoning
