Number of Days: 34 10/23/17 12/15/17 Unit Goals Stage 1 Unit Description: Building on the algebra, reasoning, and constructions of Unit 1, Unit 2 has the students discover and explore the properties of triangles and polygons. As the students make conjectures and construct interior angles, exterior angles and congruencies of triangles, their new knowledge leads naturally to the study of polygons. As the students progress through their study of polygons, they will see that the properties of a polygon of one category hold for all the subcategories of that polygon. Using paragraph, flowchart, and two-column proofs, students compose logical arguments to support their triangle and quadrilateral conjectures.

[a] G-GMD.B Visualize relationships between twodimensional and threedimensional objects. Transfer Goals Students will be able to independently use their learning to Make sense of never-before-seen problems and persevere in solving them. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Making Meaning UNDERSTANDINGS Students will understand that The triangle congruence theorems are viewed as shortcuts to proving the congruence of two triangles. Determining the physical characteristics of a geometric figure is tied to logical determination, or implication, which is essential to deductive reasoning. Proving theorems within a deductive system ensures the avoidance of circular reasoning. The triangle congruence theorems allow us to conclude that two triangles are congruent after we have shown the congruence of three of the six pairs of corresponding angles and sides. There are relationships between the angles, sides and diagonals of convex polygons. The midsegment properties of a triangle are derived from the midsegment properties of a trapezoid. The properties of a category of polygons are inherited by all the subcategories of that polygon. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Students will keep considering What parts of triangles are needed to determine a unique triangle and, from this, what information is needed to determine the congruence of two triangles? Why are proofs considered to be such an large part of geometry and where, outside of geometry, is this an important skill? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the various proof formats: paragraph, flow, and two-column? Why do some congruence conjectures prove triangles to be congruent and others do not? Why can SSA and AAA not be used to prove congruence? Do a statement and its converse always have the same truth value? Does equilateral imply equiangular for polygons other than triangles? How are polygons related to each other? LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT 1 Posted 10/16/17
[m] G-SRT.B Prove theorems involving similarity. KNOWLEDGE Students will know The Triangle Sum Conjecture The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. The converse is also true. Equal angles are opposite equal sides. The smallest angle of a triangle is opposite its shortest side and the largest angle is opposite the longest side. The Side-Angle Inequality Conjecture The Exterior Angle Conjecture That SSS, SAS, ASA and SAA are shortcuts for proving that triangles are congruent. SSA and AAA are not. Two polygons are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are congruent. (CPCTC) A proof can be constructed using several methods: flowchart, paragraph, or two-column. Triangles can be used to form other polygons. That the angle bisector of the vertex angle and the median and altitude from that angle are the same line for isosceles triangles and, thus, equilateral triangles as well.
