Geometry

Geometry in Grade 10 develops spatial reasoning and logical problem-solving by studying shapes, sizes, and the properties of space. Learners explore lines, angles, triangles, circles, and polygons while applying theorems and proofs to real-world contexts. This subject emphasizes visualization, measurement, and reasoning, showing how Geometry connects mathematics to architecture, design, engineering, and nature. By the end of the course, students gain confidence in using geometric concepts to solve problems, think critically, and understand the structures that shape the world around them.
