Grade Level/Course: Honors Geometry
Content Area: Mathematics
Grade Level/Course Overview:
Honors Geometry is a rigorous proof-based course designed to develop spatial concepts and insight into geometric
relationships. A precise mathematical language is developed with an emphasis on reading and real-life problem
solving. Transformations on the coordinate plane provide opportunities for the formal study of congruence and
similarity. The study of similarity leads to right triangle trigonometry and connects to quadratics and circles
through Pythagorean relationships. The study of circles uses similarity and congruence to develop basic theorems
related to circles and lines. The link between probability and data is explored through conditional
probability. All units in this course will tie together geometric and previous advanced algebraic content
knowledge such as systems of equations, factoring and solving quadratic equations. Advanced proofs are
integrated throughout the course and will allow students to experience Geometry as a useful and logical subject.

STANDARDS:
A listing of all standards included in the unit
Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined
notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.
Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as
functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that
preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).
Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto
itself.
Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel
lines, and line segments.
Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper,
tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective
devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.) Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment;
bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and
constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.
Prove theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include the angle bisector theorem and the midpoint theorem.

A listing of all standards included in the unit
Prove that all circles are similar.
Derive using similarity the fact that the length of the arc intercepted by an angle is proportional to the radius, and define
the radian measure of the angle as the constant of proportionality; derive the formula for the area of a sector.
UNIT DESCRIPTION:
Students will discover that all circles are similar by using the length
of the arc and other measurements. The proportionality of the length
of an arc intercepted by an angle to the radius will be discovered.
Students will also derive the formula for the area of a sector.
Students will learn the origin of radians and its role as the constant of
proportionality.

STANDARDS:
A listing of all standards included in the unit
Identify and describe relationships among inscribed angles, radii, and chords. Include the relationship between central,
inscribed, and circumscribed angles; inscribed angles on a diameter are right angles; the radius of a circle is
perpendicular to the tangent where the radius intersects the circle.
Derive and identify the relationships between segments created by chords, secants, and tangents in circles.
Construct the inscribed and circumscribed circles of triangle, and prove properties of angles for a quadrilateral
inscribed in a circle.
UNIT DESCRIPTION:
The goal of this unit is to establish the numerical relationship
between arcs and angles of a circle and to provide ways of
calculating segments related to circles.

STANDARDS:
A listing of all standards included in the unit
Describe events as subsets of a sample space (the set of outcomes) using characteristics (or categories) of the
outcomes, or as unions, intersections, or complements of other events (“or,” “and,””not”).
Understand that two events A and B are independent of the probability of A and B occurring together is the product of
their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are independent.
Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as
saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability
of B given A is the same as the probability of B.
Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated with each object being
classified. Use the two-way table as a sample space to decide if events are independent and to approximate
conditional probabilities.
Recognize and explain the concepts of conditional probability and independence in everyday language and everyday
situations.
Find the conditional probability of A given B as the fraction of B’s outcomes that also belong to A, and interpret the
answer in terms of the model.
Apply the Addition Rule, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(BA) = P(B)P(AB), and
interpret the answer in terms of the model.
Use permutations and combinations to compute probabilities of compound events and solve problems.
Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g., drawing by lots, using a random number generator).
Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey
goalie at the end of a game).
