LMU|CMAST Geometry Unit Descriptions Geometry Unit Descriptions Mathematical reasoning skills developed in previous courses provide a solid foundation for understanding proof and logic in Geometry. A study of analytical geometry is weaved throughout this course, highlighted by a study of transformations in the plane. The concept of area is also weaved throughout, with a discussion of the areas of many different geometric objects. Previous knowledge of angles and angle pairs is used to prove important results about the congruence of angles. A construction of the angle bisector is explored. Triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons are classified and important results are proven. The triangle congruence theorems are explored in depth and used to prove two triangles congruent. The concepts of ratio and proportion are applied in the study of similar polygons. This leads to a discussion of special right triangles, and the Pythagorean theorem. Different proofs of the Pythagorean theorem are explored. The concept of a ratio is necessary for the study of the trigonometric ratios and their relationship to right triangles. Connections among shapes and their properties are made in the study of circles, including an exploration of how polygons, lines, and circles interact. Finally, the concept of shape is expanded to three dimensions, with special focus on the study of prisms, pyramids, and cylinders. The concept of function is revisited in the study of the formulas for volume and surface area.

Inductive reasoning is introduced as the type of thinking needed to analyze patterns and create conjectures. Counterexamples are used to prove some conjectures false. Different forms of logical statements are explored, including the converse, inverse, contrapositive, and biconditional statements. Counterexamples are used again to show that a logical statement is false. Logical statements are then used in defining basic geometric objects (i.e. points, lines, and planes), postulates (i.e. addition, etc), and properties (i.e. reflexive, symmetric, transitive). The understanding of segments is explored with constructions (i.e. copying of segments) and deductive reasoning is used to prove basic geometric statements, including those about segments. Two column proofs are introduced and a connection is made between this type of proof, and written justification of steps used in an algebra problem. Multiple types of proofs are used to prove statements about segment congruence, including two-column proofs and paragraph proofs. As an introduction to coordinate geometry, the distance formula and the midpoint are derived and organized as proofs. The definition of equidistant is given and illustrated in the coordinate plane using the distance formula. # 1A 1B 1C 1D Learning Targets Write a conjecture from a given set of information and explain how this is inductive reasoning. Show that a statement is false by providing a counterexample. Explain what it means for a statement to be in “if-then” form, and explain the relationship between the hypothesis and conclusion. Write a negation, converse, inverse, contrapositive, and biconditional statement in words and in symbolic notation. 1E Judge the validity of conditional statements, including the biconditional. 1F 1G Explain the role of proof in mathematics.
