Classify, measure and draw angles using
protractors
Bisect lines and angles through construction
Draw perpendicular lines at a given point on a
line segment, or from a point outside a line
segment.
Construct a perpendicular bisector of a line
segment/Construct parallel lines to a given
line segment
Construct triangles and use constructions to
make a deduction regarding the sum of the
interior angles of a triangle, as well as the
exterior angle of a triangle.
Construct quadrilaterals and use
constructions to make deduction regarding the
sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral.
Construct angles of 30˚, 45˚, 60˚ and their
multiples, without the use of a protractor

congruent forms (triangles and
quadrilaterals)
o Identify and describe properties of
similar forms (triangles and
quadrilaterals)
Problem solving (integrated)
Important note:
Integrate problem solving with the above properties as learners encounter them, e.g. combine the sum of the interior angles of a triangle with the theorem on the exterior angle of a
triangle, adjacent supplementary angles on a straight line with special triangles. Opportunity for the solving of problems should also be given. This integration should continuously
happen as concepts develop.
You can also make use of constructions in an investigation for a FAT on the sum of the interior angles of a triangle, as well as the exterior angle of a triangle.
Learners focus in grade 9 on the cases of congruency (eg. one case is SSS, where the sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of the other triangle), and the cases
of similarity (e.g. one case of similarity is AAA,where the three angles of one triangle are equal to the corresponding three angles of the other triangle. In grade 8 the focus is on the
properties of congruent and similar figures, not the cases.

Notes
Understanding and consolidation is key in this section. Make use of constructions and other practical activities, e.g.cut and paste, transparencies,
wallcharts, computer software te enable learners to get a solid grounding. Sufficient informal assessment should be the order of the day.
Integrate all geometry covered up to this point when doing problem solving/revision.
