Key Attitudes
Math is about building up understanding one idea at a time.
Key Ideas
A factor answers the question “How many of these are in this”?
Triangles can be constructed out of various combinations of angles and sides.
Only some combinations of angles and sides guarantee that all triangle created with this combination will be congruent-- the same size and the same shape. Other combinations only guarantee triangles which are the same shape, and some combinations guarantee nothing at all!
When multiplying two expressions, if the bases are the same the exponents need to be added.
Key Skills
I can identify key angle and side combinations which force triangles to be congruent.
I can identify and sequence the reasons which establish triangle congruence.
I can use congruent triangles to prove other facts.
I can use a straight edge and compass to construct geometric shapes.
