Amsco texts parallel the integrated approach to the teaching of high school mathematics promoted by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in its Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics.
In addition, the content of the book follows the guidelines mandated by the New Your State Borad of Regents in the Mathematics Core Curriculum.
This book presents a range of materials and explanations to enable students to achieve a high level of excellence in their understanding of mathematics.
Formal logic is presented as the basis for geometric reasoning. Most of the geometric facts presented in this text are already familiar to the student. The purpose of this text is to help the student to use the principles of logic to understand the interdependence among these geometric and algebraic concepts.
Coordinate geometry is presented with a postulational approach and used when appropriate to enhance and clarify synthetic proof.
Transformations are introduced to further expand the students understanding of function and to relate that concept to geometry.
The concurrence theorems for the altitudes, angle bisectors, medians and perpendicular bisectors of triangles are proved using a variety of approaches.
Solid geometry is introduced and students are encouraged to expand their understanding of the three-dimensional world, particularly through the study of perpendicular and parallel lines and planes.
Algebraic skills from Integrated Algebra 1 are maintained, strengthened, and expanded as a bridge to Algebra 2 and Trigonometry.
Provide students with a comprehensive textbook custom designed for complete coverage of the New York State Core Curriculum for Geometry.
