Tools of Geometry

What determines the precision of a measurement?
How are the distance and midpoint formulas derived?
How can we figure out surface area and volume without using formulas?

Proof

What does it mean to prove something?
Why is it only necessary to have one counterexample to disprovesomething, but you need more than that to prove something?
What does it mean to be logically equivalent?

Parallel and Perpendicular

Quadrilaterals

What does the measure of the interior and exterior anges of a polygon depend on?

Third Quarter:

Proportions and Similarity

what are the properties of similar figures and what do they mean?
What does it mean to be similar?

Transformations

What transformations are considered an isometry?

Trigonometry

What are the relationships between the parts of a right triangle?
What are sine, cosine, and tangent and how are they used?

Fourth Quarter:

Area

How can we use areas we know how to find to derive areas we do not know?
