Unit 1: Constructions and Segment Addition
Unit Outcomes
At the end of this unit, you will be able to:
Experiment with transformations in the place
Prove geometric theorems
Express geometric properties with equations
Make geometric constructions
Questions we will explore together...
Over the next two weeks, I'd like you to consider these COMPELLING QUESTIONS:
How is visualization essential to the study of geometry?
How does geometry explain or describe the structure of our world?
How does understanding geometric definitions and notation lend to making connection and conclusions?
How do geometric constructions enhance understanding of the geometric properties of objects?
