Course Description – Discovering God’s Design in Space and Shape
In Revelate Learning, Geometry is more than the study of lines, angles, and shapes—it’s an opportunity to see the fingerprints of the Creator in order, symmetry, and design. Geometry trains students in logical reasoning, careful proof-writing, and precise problem-solving while strengthening their ability to see God’s wisdom reflected in creation.
Students will study points, lines, planes, triangles, polygons, circles, and three-dimensional figures. They will learn transformations, proofs, similarity, congruence, trigonometry, and the beauty of spatial reasoning. Geometry provides both practical life tools and a disciplined framework for higher math courses like Algebra 2, PreCalculus, and beyond.
Biblical & Revelate Learning Integration
Design in Creation: Seeing symmetry, balance, and proportion as reflections of God’s perfection.
Reasoning with Truth: Understanding proof as a way to pursue truth with clarity and integrity.
Order in the Kingdom: Applying mathematical logic as a reflection of God’s constancy and justice.

Classroom Expectations
Arrive/log in 5 minutes early with full name displayed.
Camera on, face visible, ready to participate.
Materials and homework completed before class begins.
Engage respectfully—encouraging and supporting classmates in learning.
Homework Policy
Geometry builds sequentially, like constructing a building. Homework ensures each concept is mastered before the next layer is added. Assignments must be completed before the following class to keep pace with discussions and proofs.
