Geometry 3 – Characteristics of Christ (Previously, Symbolic Math Three – Triangle)
This class will focus on the triangle and the number three. You will explore the reason for the triangle and how to measure and calculate it. You will observe these symbols within the scriptures, literature, and history. We will perform experiments, make art, and build fractals. You will come away from this class with a great appreciation of triangles and their importance in our world. The symbol of the triangle represents the firstborn son, Jesus Christ, and His Atonement. We will explore the 12 tasks he preformed, is currently, and will perform for us. Not only will you have the knowledge of using triangles in calculating height and triangulating but you will know the missions of Christ at a deeper level too. You will never look at shapes the same way again.
