Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Given two circles and a non-circle (oval, egg shape, etc.), identify the circles as similar.
- Using two circles of different sizes, place one on top of the other (translations) to prove the circles are similar by stretching or shrinking (dilations).
- Using a compass, protractor, or geometry software, create and compare similar circles of different sizes.

Cluster:
Understand and apply theorems about circles. (Geometry - Additional Cluster) : Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters. |
