Geometry Unit: Congruence and Similarity: Manasquan High School Department: Mathematics

This document outlines the unit plan for a geometry unit on congruence and similarity being taught at Manasquan High School. It includes the relevant NJ state standards, unit expectations, assessments to measure student learning, lesson plans and activities, and resources being used for the unit. The unit will focus on transformations, properties of congruent and similar polygons, and using coordinates to prove geometric properties through various performance tasks, written assessments, and lesson activities.

Department: Mathematics

Geometry
Unit: Congruence and Similarity
Stage 1: Desired Results
NJCCCS, 2009 Established Goals
Standard: 4.2 Geometry and Measurement: All students will develop spatial sense and the ability to use
geometric properties, relationships, and measurements to model, describe, and analyze phenomena.

4.2.12.A.1 – Apply transformations (slides, flips, turns, dilations and contractions) to polygons to determine
congruence, similarity, symmetry and tessellations.

4.2.12.A.8 – Prove that triangles are congruent or similar and use the concept of corresponding parts of congruent
triangles.

4.2.12.A.12 – Use coordinate geometry to prove properties of polygons, such as congruence and similarity.

4.2.12.B.4 – Use properties of congruent and similar polygons to solve problems involving lengths and areas.

Standard: 4.5 Core Mathematical Processes: All students will use the mathematical processes of problem
solving, communication, connections, reasoning, representations and technology to gain deeper understanding
of mathematical concepts, problem solving and how to communicate mathematical ideas.

4.5.12.1 – Analyze a problem situation and represent it mathematically.

4.5.12.2 – Select and apply strategies to solve problems.

4.5.12.3 – Evaluate a solution for reasonableness, verify its accuracy and interpret the solution in the context of
the original problem.

4.5.12.4 – Generalize a solution strategy for a single problem to a class of related problems and apply a strategy
for a class of related problems to solve specific problems.

4.5.12.5 – Read and interpret diagrams, graphs, and text containing the symbols, language and conventions of
mathematics.

4.5.12.6 – Communicate mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers, teachers, and others, both orally
and in writing.

4.5.12.7 – Synthesize information to draw conclusions, and evaluate the arguments and conclusions of others.

4.5.12.8 – Use inductive reasoning to make conjectures and use deductive reasoning to prove or disprove
conjectures.

4.5.12.9 – Use technology to gather, analyze, and communicate mathematical information.
