This unit is on congruent triangles. Students will build their understanding and skills related to angles and triangles. Essentially, students will establish meanings and remove possible misunderstandings by verifying truths using deductive reasoning. I ordered my lessons based on the textbook I was using. The reason being that each chapter is in an order of relevance in which students use concepts and ideas learned directly from the previous lesson; each a building block of one another.
