Unit Plan

Congruence, Construction and Proof

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Congruence, Construction and Proof unit plan also includes:
  • Congruence, Construction and Proof - Student Edition
  • Introduction to the Materials
  • Congruence, Construction and Proof (Honors) - Student Edition
  • Congruence, Construction and Proof - Student Edition (Spanish Version)
  • Join to access all included materials

Learn about constructing figures, proofs, and transformations. The seventh unit in a course of nine makes the connections between geometric constructions, congruence, and proofs. Scholars learn to construct special quadrilaterals, equilateral triangles, and inscribed hexagons. The pupils learn the triangle congruence criteria and how they relate to transformation and use them to prove why constructions work.
