From students

"This class has benefited my math skills greatly. My MathCounts state scores have gone up considerably because of the geometry teaching received in this class. Thank you guys for the instruction."

"Great course! Because of all the things I learned, as an eighth grader I had the highest geometry score on my A team at HMMT. Thanks a lot for another great class AoPS!"

Description

This course covers a full honors geometry curriculum, plus many advanced problem solving geometric applications not found in a standard geometry class. Topics covered in the class include triangle similarity and congruence, complicated area problems, mastering the triangle, special quadrilaterals, polygons, the art of angle chasing, construction, power of a point, 3-dimensional geometry, transformations, analytic geometry, basic trigonometry, and geometric proofs. Please note: This is a 24-week course.
