Unit Description:  Unit Description:  :  Unit 3 Triangles and More Triangles

Essential Questions

·        How can classifying triangles identify their special characteristics?

·        What special relationships occur between congruent triangles and similar triangles?

·        What special properties exist in a right triangle that makes it unique?

·        How can special segments of a triangle be used to solve real-world problems?

·        How can points of concurrency be used in real- world situations?

Standards/Benchmarks/GLEs: 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11,12,17,18,19

Objectives:

3.1.4 Proving Triangles Congruent

CPCTC – solve for missing corresponding measures of congruent triangles

Students will be able to identify and prove that triangles are congruent by SAS, SSS, ASA and AAS theorems.

3.1.4 Proving Triangles Congruent

Students will be able to identify and prove that triangles are congruent by SAS, SSS, ASA and AAS theorems.

Name similar triangles and understand that the sides are proportional and the angles are congruent.

3.2.1 Similar Figures

Students will solve equations involving proportions

3.2.1 Similar Figures

Determine scale factors and whether polygons are similar.

Write similarity statements.
