Imagine a courtroom where x testifies and the judge whispers "Why?" — that’s our year. Weeks 1–20: AoPS Introduction to Algebra + Alcumus — linear equations, systems, functions, polynomials, factoring; model cost, revenue and break-even. Weeks 21–40: Introduction to Geometry — proofs, congruence, similarity, circles, coordinate geometry; synthesize with algebra in Desmos. Weekly rhythm: daily Alcumus, two focused lessons, applied lab, timed set and written proof. Capstones: geometry proof portfolio and financial-model presentation (spreadsheet + graphs). Aligned to ACARA v9: Number & Algebra, Measurement & Geometry, Mathematical Reasoning. Keep curiosity your spice; question every x, justify elegantly daily with flair.
