IM Geometry: Unit 3 - Similarity
In this unit, students use dilations and rigid transformations to justify triangle similarity theorems. The unit balances a focus on proof with a focus on using similar triangles to find unknown side lengths and angle measurements. To learn more about how to use GeoGebra’s fully digital and interactive curriculum, visit our IM 9–12 Math page.
