Unit Overviews

Unit 1:  Geometry Basics

  • TIMELINE:   3 weeks

  • SUMMARY:  In order for students to be successful for the entire year, students will need to start with an 

introduction to basic Geometry terms, definitions and concepts.   This will include:

  • Coordinate Geometry (1.5 weeks)

  • Angles (1.5 weeks)

Unit 2:  Logic & Proofs

  • TIMELINE:  3.5 weeks

  • SUMMARY:  Students will develop their logic and reasoning skills through the use of Algebraic and 

Geometric Proofs.  This will include:

  • Geometric Reasoning (1.5 weeks)

  • Parallel Lines (2 weeks)

Unit 3:  Triangles

  • TIMELINE:  8 weeks

  • SUMMARY:  Students will continue to use their logic and reasoning skills through the study of triangle 

properties and proving triangles are similar and proving triangles congruent.  This will include:

  • Triangle Properties (1.5 weeks)

  • Congruent Triangles (1 week)

  • Similar Triangles (1.5 weeks)

  • Right Triangles (2 weeks)

  • Law of Sines and Cosines and Vectors (2 weeks)

Unit 4:  2D and 3D Figures

  • TIMELINE:  11 weeks

  • SUMMARY:   Students will find study properties of quadrilaterals and find area of all two-dimensional 

figures.  They will also find surface area and volume of three-dimensional figures and use these skills to solve problems.  This will include:

  • Quadrilaterals (1.5 weeks)

  • Area of 2D Figures (3 weeks) 

  • Surface Area & Volume of 3D Figures (5 days)

  • Function Applications with Surface Area & Volume (1.5 weeks)

Unit 5:  Circles

  • TIMELINE:  4 weeks

  • SUMMARY:   Students will study properties and theorems of circles and be able to use and apply those 

theorems.  This will include:

  • Parts of Circles (2 weeks)

  • Segments and Angles in Circles (2 weeks)

Unit 6:  Constructions, Transformations & Probability

  • TIMELINE:   3 weeks

  • SUMMARY:  Students will use constructions to investigate properties of geometric figures; perform 

transformations of figures; and review the use of probability as it might relate to Geometry.

  • Transformations (1.5 weeks)

  • Constructions (0.5 week)

  • Probability (1 week)
