Subjects: Mathematics Unit Topic 1: Geometry 2

Teacher: Ms. Gabriela Rash, Mr. Samuel Ack &Mr. Chet Ack School: Julian Cho Technical High School
Class: 4th Formers Duration: 6 Cycles

Introduction:
In this unit students will use circle theorem to solve angle problems. They will learn how to prove and use the facts that the
angle in a semi-circle is 90◦, that the angle formed at the centre is double the angle formed on the circumference, that angles in the
same semgment are equal, thart a perpendicule from the centre of a circle toa chord bisects the chord, that opposite angles in cyclic
quadrialteral are equal, that a tangent and a radius make a right angle, that two tangents from a point are equal and that the angle
between a chord and tangent is equal to the angle in the alternate segment. Furthermore students will develop an understanding of the
process of developing a geometrical proof in mathematics. This process usually involves pattern spotting as a first step, but is then
followed by making and then proving, or disproving a conjecture based on the patterns they have spotted.

Rationale:
The theoretical importance of circles is reflected in the amazing number and variety of situations in science where circles are
used to model physical phenomena. Circles are the first approximation to the orbits of planets and of their moons, to the movement of
electrons in an atom, to the motion of a vehicle around a curve in the road, and to the shapes of cyclones and galaxies. Spheres and
cylinders are the first approximation of the shape of planets and stars, of the trunks of trees, of an exploding fireball, and of a drop of
water, and of manufactured objects such as wires, pipes, ball-bearings, balloons, pies and wheels.

Unit goals:
On completion of unit, students should:
1. Appreciate the notion of space as a set of points with subsets of that set (space) having properties related to other mathematical
systems;
2. Understand the properties and relationship among geometrical objects;
3. Understand the properties of circles, angles and arcs.
4. Demonstrate the ability to use geometrical concepts to model and solve real world problems;
