Before you begin

Build and connect the representations and methods in geometry and reasoning.

Learning goals
  • Deduce unknown angles from geometric relationships
  • Classify angles by their size
  • Classify shapes by their properties
  • Construct geometric figures from stated conditions
  • Reason about congruence, similarity and scale factors
Syllabus statements covered
  • right, acute, obtuse and reflex angles • vertically opposite angles, angles on a straight line and angles at a point • angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal: corresponding angles, alternate angles, interior angles • properties of triangles, special quadrilaterals • properties of perpendicular bisectors of line segments and angle bisectors • construction of simple geometrical figures from given data (including perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors) using compasses, ruler, set squares and protractors, where appropriate
  • line and rotational symmetry of plane figures • lines of symmetry • order of rotational symmetry • congruent and similar figures • properties of similar triangles and quadrilaterals: ∗ corresponding angles are equal ∗ corresponding sides are proportional
