The traditional geometry sequence focuses only on math on a flat plane. Sadly, students are rarely informed of this. They believe the formulas they are memorizing are uniformly valid, when in fact, they don't even apply to the Earth we live on!

MathBait® geometry is notably different. We'll start from the ground up following Euclid's methodology to build our own axiomatic system. We'll pay close attention to our theorems (proving each one), to determine what is true in an area with no curvature (flat plane), an area with positive curvature (a sphere), and an area with negative curvature (hyperbolic geometry). And, we'll leverage technology to master constructing shapes with only two basic tools: the Euclidean compass and the straightedge.

Covering the traditional geometry topics (parallel lines, congruent triangles, quadrilaterals, similarity, right triangles, circles, constructions, transformations, area, volume, and coordinate geometry) we'll expand our understanding using games and explorations to provide students with a strong basis in the mathematics of shapes.

This course is all about the intersection of logic and beauty. From how to draw a perfect shape by hand, to Escheresque tesselations of the plane, to symmetry and duality; we'll discover how nature uses geometry to form incredible structures.

The Shape of Everything goes above and beyond your typical geometry course to include Lambert quadrilaterals, the trapezoid method and Riemann integration, and a full exploration of trigonometry to prepare students to easily transition into a Calculus course. We'll question everything, assume nothing, and have a lot of fun along the way.
