Tools+of+Geometry

=**Tools of Geometry**= You begin your study of geometry by learning to reason inductively. You will use the undefined terms //point, line,// and //plane// in postulates about segments, rays, lines, planes and angles. You will learn how to measure segments and angles and how to use a compass and straightedge to construct geometric figures. Finally, you will find distance on the coordinate plane algebraically and calculate the circumference, perimeter, and area of geometric figures.

What you will learn:
 * You will learn how to make plausible conclusions based on patterns you observe.
 * You will learn the foundation blocks for the structure of geometry.
 * These foundations will provide you with ways to measure segments and angles.
 * You will also learn to use constructions and the coordinate plane to represent geometric figures.

=﻿Skills Trace= BEFORE: In previous courses, you translated words into symbols, solved equations, and graphed points and lines in the coordinate plane.

DURING: You construct congruent segments and segment bisectors, apply inductive reasoning to formulate conjectures, and find the distance and midpoint between two points on the coordinate plane.

AFTER: You will write conditional and biconditional statements, and use deductive reasoning to prove statements.
