Unit 1: Congruence, Proof, and Constructions Geometry is all about recognizing relationships and patterns within a single figure and among two or more figures. This begins with the concept of rigid transformations (translations, reflections, and rotations) to explain congruence. Congruence is one of the prominent concepts that will allow you to explain figures and their relationships. With a strong understanding of congruence, you will investigate congruency shortcuts and will be introduced to formal proofs using this foundational knowledge. You will then continue to develop your comfort with proofs, in a variety of formats, by using them to prove geometric theorems, or relationships, introduced in previous years and solving problems involving lines, angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals. Finally, formal constructions with compass and straightedge are introduced, and you will use your knowledge of geometric properties of figures to complete a variety of constructions and explain why they work.[[1]](#_ftn1)

1.1 Review: Rigid Transformations and Congruence This section reviews the rigid transformations (translations, rotations, and reflections) studied in previous mathematics courses to further examine congruence. The structure of things in both nature and the man-made world depends on congruence: beehives, architecture, railroads, and more! The concept of congruence is critical in analyzing attributes of one figure and between figures. The resources in this section provide explanatory content as well as opportunities to investigate the transformations and how they relate to congruence and opportunities to apply this knowledge in problem-solving situations.
