Geometry in iLowerSecondary develops formal reasoning about shapes, angles, and space, and introduces important tools like Pythagoras' theorem, constructions, and coordinate transformations.
Angle facts: supplementary, complementary, vertically opposite, angles in triangles/quadrilaterals. Interior and exterior angles of polygons. Properties of special quadrilaterals. Congruence and similarity introduction.
Area: rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapeziums, circles (πr²). Circumference = πd. Surface area and volume of prisms, cylinders. Composite shapes: breaking into simpler parts. Unit conversions for area and volume.
Pythagoras' theorem: finding missing sides, applications in coordinate geometry. Constructions: bisectors, perpendiculars using compass and straight edge. Loci. Transformations: reflection, rotation, translation, enlargement on a coordinate grid. Describing transformations fully.
Pythagoras' theorem is introduced in iLowerSecondary (typically Year 8 or 9) and then extended in International GCSE. At iLowerSecondary level, students learn to apply it in 2D contexts. At IGCSE, it's applied in 3D shapes, coordinate geometry, and combined with trigonometry.
