Similarity

In this concept, we learn to apply proportional relationships to geometry. We learn about similarity in polygons, and how to prove them similar. We also learn about properties of similar polygons, and scaling and dilations.
The concept is broken into smaller topics, which makes it easier and much more fun for students. The topics are listed below:-
Applying Properties of Similar Triangles
In this topic, we learn to use properties of similar triangles to find segment lengths. We also learn to apply proportionality and triangle angle bisector theorems.
Dilations and Similarity in the Coordinate Plane
In this topic, we learn to apply properties of similarity in the coordinate plane. We also learn to use coordinate proofs to prove figures similar.
Ratio and Proportion
This topic deals with writing ratios expressing the slope of a line. It also covers solving proportions and using properties of proportions.
Ratios in Similar Polygons
This topic deals with describing and identifying similar polygons. It also covers writing similarity ratios and similarity statements for polygons.
Triangle Similarity - AA, SSS, and SAS
In this topic, we learn to prove certain triangles similar using AA, SAS, and SSS. We also learn to use triangle similarity to solve problems.
Using Proportional Relationships
In this track, we learn to use ratios to make indirect measurements. We also use scale drawings to solve problems.
