Geometry 6-week Intensive Hybrid Course

Session 1: June 12-July 24; 4-6 pm ET

Session 2: July 24-September 4; 4-6 pm ET

This hybrid version of the LSS Geometry course combines independent work time with daily teacher-led live lessons and dedicated office hours to support students in working more quickly through the Geometry curriculum.

One day in 2580 B.C.E., a very serious architect stood in a dusty desert with a set of plans. His plans called for creating a structure 480 feet tall, with a square base and triangular sides, using stone blocks weighing two tons each. The Pharaoh wanted the job done right. The better this architect understood geometry, the better his chances were for staying alive.

Geometry is everywhere, not just in pyramids. Engineers use geometry to build highways and bridges. Artists use geometry to create perspective in their paintings, and mapmakers help travelers find things using the points located on a geometric grid. Throughout this course, students travel a mathematical highway illuminated by spatial relationships, reasoning, connections, and problem solving.

Please note -- this course is intended to be an intensive learning experience; students who take this course should be prepared to spend least 4 hours of independent work time per day in addition to the daily live lessons. Each session covers a full year of content.
