During this unit of work, students will:
- revisit and apply their knowledge & understanding of geometric properties, measurement, angle relationships and deductive reasoning
- identify and use new circle features and terminology related to angles in circles (e.g. secant, subtend, angle standing on an arc or chord)
- explore circle properties through various modes, including compass-and-straight-edge construction and dynamic geometry software, as well as suggest possible conjectures and apply deductive reasoning to prove and solve problems (unknown sides and angles) related to:
- Chord Properties
- Angle Properties
- Tangent & Secant Properties
Key Goal: develop students' deductive reasoning and problem-solving skills in the context of presenting proofs of circle geometry properties and solving related problems
