Revision notes

Revise geometry and reasoning

Build geometric arguments from angle, circle and similarity properties, and distinguish length, area and volume scale factors.

Key ideas

  1. Parallel lines and angle reasons

    Name the geometric condition before using an angle equality or sum.

  2. Angle relations and equations

    Trace every angle pair, choose equality or a sum, and check algebraic results against the geometry.

  3. Line and rotational symmetry

    Test the whole figure under a reflection or rotation and count matching positions in a full turn.

  4. Triangle angle properties

    Use the angle sum and equal-side markings to justify unknown triangle angles.

  5. Parallel quadrilaterals and their angles

    Use marked parallel sides and named quadrilateral properties to justify unknown angles.

  6. Polygon angle sums

    Distinguish totals for a convex polygon from equal individual angles in a regular polygon.

  7. Triangle construction from data

    Construct a triangle from stated lengths or angles and check that the data determine a possible figure.

  8. Bisectors and geometric construction

    Use equal distances to justify compass constructions and check the given dimensions.

  9. Congruence and similarity

    Match corresponding parts before comparing lengths, angles and scale.

  10. Similar triangles and unknown lengths

    Match corresponding vertices, find the scale factor and calculate unknown sides in separate, nested and crossed triangles.

  11. Enlargement, reduction and scale drawings

    Use one scale factor for every length, keep angles unchanged, and move between real lengths and a scale drawing.

  12. Triangle tests and similar-solid scales

    Use sufficient corresponding data and distinguish length, area and volume scale factors.

  13. Circle angle and tangent properties

    Identify the chord, arc, radius and tangent that justify each circle relationship.

What the syllabus asks

From the G3 Mathematics 2027 syllabus

Show all 18 syllabus statements
  • 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 and regular polygons (pentagon, hexagon, octagon and decagon), including symmetry properties
  • Classifying special quadrilaterals on the basis of their properties
  • Angle sum of interior and exterior angles of any convex polygon
  • Construction of simple geometrical figures from given data using compasses, ruler, set squares and protractors, where appropriate
  • Congruent figures and similar figures
  • Properties of similar triangles and polygons: - corresponding angles are equal - corresponding sides are proportional
  • Enlargement and reduction of a plane figure
  • Scale drawings
  • Properties and construction of perpendicular bisectors of line segments and angle bisectors
  • Determining whether two triangles are - congruent - similar
  • Ratio of areas of similar plane figures
  • Ratio of volumes of similar solids
  • Solving simple problems involving similarity and congruence
  • Symmetry properties of circles: - equal chords are equidistant from the centre - the perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre - tangents from an external point are equal in length - the line joining an external point to the centre of the circle bisects the angle between the tangents
  • Angle properties of circles: - angle in a semicircle is a right angle - angle between tangent and radius of a circle is a right angle - angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference - angles in the same segment are equal - angles in opposite segments are supplementary
