High School Geometry – Unit 1
Develop the ideas of congruence through constructions and transformations
Critical Area: In this Unit the notion of two-dimensional shapes as part of a generic plane (the Euclidean Plane) and exploration of transformations of this plane
as a way to determine whether two shapes are congruent or similar are formalized. Students use transformations to prove geometric theorems. The definition of
congruence in terms of rigid motions provides a broad understanding of this notion, and students explore the consequences of this definition in terms of
congruence criteria and proofs of geometric theorems. Students develop the ideas of congruence and similarity through transformations.

Similarity, Right Triangles, and Trigonometry
Critical Area: Students investigate triangles and decide when they are similar. A more precise mathematical definition of similarity is given; the new definition
taken for two objects being similar is that there is a sequence of similarity transformations that maps one exactly onto the other. Students explore the consequences
of two triangles being similar: that they have congruent angles and that their side lengths are in the same proportion. Students prove the Pythagorean Theorem
using triangle similarity.

Express Geometric Properties with Equations; Extend Similarity to Circles
Critical Area: Students investigate triangles and decide when they are similar; with this newfound knowledge and their prior understanding of proportional
relationships, they define trigonometric ratios and solve problems using right triangles. They investigate circles and prove theorems about them. Connecting to
their prior experience with the coordinate plane, they prove geometric theorems using coordinates and describe shapes with equations. Students extend their
knowledge of area and volume formulas to those for circles, cylinders and other rounded shapes. They prove theorems, both with and without the use of
coordinates.
