Standard(s) Taught

MAFS.7.G.1.2

Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.

MAFS.7.G.2.5

Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.

MAFS.8.G.1.5

Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles.

Learning Targets and Learning Criteria

Students are successful when they can…

  • draw geometric shapes with given conditions.
  • construct triangles from three measures of angles or sides.
  • describe when angle measures determine a triangle (given angles equal 180)
  • describe when side measures determine a unique triangle (a + b > c) or (a + b < c).
  • determine whether three angle measures of three side lengths can form a triangle.
  • discover the definitions of supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles.
  • solve multi-step problems by applying what you know about the types of angles.
  • informally prove the angle-sum theorem, the properties of angles when parallel lines are cut by a transversal and the angle-angle criterion for similar triangles.
  • prove that the sum of any triangle’s interior angles will have the same measure as a straight angle.
  • make conjectures regarding the relationships and measurements of the angles created when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
  • apply proven relationships to establish minimal properties to justify similarity.
  • present informal arguments as to whether or not triangles are similar based on Angle-Angle criterion.
