Similarity and Right Triangle Trigonometry

Similarity is the study of proportionality - figures that have the same shape but different size.  There are many applications of similarity (have you ever had a picture enlarged?) and the study of similarity brings you into other topics in mathematics such as trigonometry.

Coordinate Geometry

Coordinate geometry is a mixture of algebra, geometry and proofs.  You will be writing proofs using algebraic formulas to prove things about geometric figures. All of the work will be worksheets or copies of problems from the Math 1 book.  Each day the homework is to finish that day's handout.
