In this unit, students are introduced to ratios, rates, proportional reasoning, similarity and congruence. Students explore ratio as a comparison of two quantities. They discover that if the ratio between the corresponding side lengths and angle measures of two figures is 1:1 (i.e., the measures are identical), then the geometric figures are congruent. They learn that for two figures to be similar, their corresponding side lengths must be in proportion and their corresponding angles must be congruent. Students also explore the relationship between congruence and similarity, learning that al
