  1. 1
    Unit 1Points, Lines & Planes5 parts · about 11 min

    Where Geometry Begins

    Points, lines and planes are the three words geometry never defines. Measure segments, find midpoints and distances on a grid, and count how many lines a handful of points can make.

  2. 2
    Unit 2Angles5 parts · about 10 min

    Angle Detective

    Name and classify angles, add them up, bisect them, and use linear pairs and vertical angles to find any unknown angle with algebra.

  3. 3
    Unit 3Parallel & Perpendicular Lines5 parts · about 11 min

    Parallel Lines and a Transversal

    A line crossing two parallel lines makes eight angles but only two sizes. Tilt it and watch, learn the angle-pair names, prove lines parallel, and meet the 2,000-year argument over the parallel postulate.

  4. 4
    Unit 4Triangles & Congruence5 parts · about 11 min

    Triangles You Can Trust

    Angles that always add to 180°, the exterior angle shortcut, which sides can make a triangle, and the five shortcuts that prove two triangles are identical — plus why SSA is missing.

  5. 5
    Unit 5Transformations5 parts · about 12 min

    Slide, Flip, Turn, Stretch

    Move a triangle onto a ghost target with translations, reflections, rotations and dilations, discover the coordinate rule for each, and learn which moves keep a shape the same size.

  6. 6
    Unit 6Similarity5 parts · about 10 min

    Same Shape, Different Size

    Similar figures are scaled copies. Find scale factors, prove triangles similar with only two angles, measure a pyramid with a shadow, and discover why giant ants could never exist.

  7. 7
    Unit 7Right Triangles & Trig5 parts · about 12 min

    The Right-Angle Toolkit

    The Pythagorean theorem and its converse, triples that come out whole, the two special right triangles, and SOH-CAH-TOA for everything else — measuring ramps, ladders and lighthouses.

  8. 8
    Unit 8Quadrilaterals & Polygons5 parts · about 11 min

    Polygons and Their Angles

    Why a hexagon's angles add up to 720°, why bees build hexagons, the family tree of quadrilaterals, and the surprising fact that every polygon's exterior angles add to exactly one full turn.

  9. 9
    Unit 9Circles5 parts · about 10 min

    Circles and Their Secrets

    Arcs, sectors, the inscribed angle theorem you can drag into existence, why every angle in a semicircle is right, and the equation that draws a circle on a grid.

  10. 10
    Unit 10Area & Volume5 parts · about 10 min

    Measuring Space

    Areas of any polygon on a grid, composite shapes, surface area and volume of prisms, cylinders, cones and spheres — and Archimedes' favourite discovery, which he asked to have on his tomb.
