This learning program covers the essential components of the Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 Plane and Circle Geometry topic as outlined the NSW syllabus. We help students gain competence in understanding congruence and similarity and its application to geometrical proofs. This includes providing deductive reasoning and geometrical justification for each step. In addition, we focus on selecting and applying appropriate circle theorems to solve geometrical proofs.
This learning program is made up of the following 8 topics, broken down into 42 concepts.
Apply rule that if two lines are parallel to a third line then they are parallel to one another
Use angle relationships to identify parallel lines
Find angles at a point using angle relationships
Use angle relationships of parallel lines to find the size of unknown angles, giving reasons

Investigate and use the angle sum of a triangle property to find angles in a given diagram
Apply Exterior Angle Sum of Polygons
Apply the Interior Angle Sum of a Polygon formula
Apply the triangle inequality rule
Find unknown sides and angles in a given diagram by using the properties of special triangles and quadrilaterals
