Unit 1: Transformations, Congruence, and Lines
Content Area: Mathematics
Course & Grade Level: Geometry Honors, 9th grade
Summary and Rationale
Building on their work with the Pythagorean theorem to find distances, students will use a rectangular
coordinate system to verify geometric relationships, including properties and slopes of parallel and
perpendicular lines. Students will experiment with transformations in the plane. Comparisons of
transformations will provide the foundation for understanding congruence. Additionally, students will
prove theorems, using a variety of formats, and solve problems. Students should be encouraged to
focus on the validity of the underlying reasoning while exploring a variety of formats for expressing that
reasoning. The logical Laws of Inference will be used to draw conclusions from real world problems.
Students will establish the foundation for figure congruence which relies on the definition of
transformations. Students will build an understanding of rigid motions, including translations, reflections
and rotations, in order to develop notions about what it means for two objects to be congruent. Rigid
motions are at the foundation of the definition of congruence, and students should recognize that they
preserve distance and angle. Students will be encouraged to use a variety of tools, in order to transform
given figures to prove congruence.
