New Hampshire High School Geometry: Full Course Coverage
StudyPug covers every topic in the New Hampshire Geometry course, from the foundational definitions of points, lines, and angles all the way through coordinate geometry, volume, and modeling. Every lesson is aligned to the NH Mathematics Model Competencies so students can match what they are learning in class to the right lesson on StudyPug.
Transformations and Congruence
Geometry begins with understanding how figures move in the plane. Students learn about rotations, reflections, and translations and how these rigid motions preserve distance and angle. From there, they use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to prove triangle congruence using ASA, SAS, and SSS criteria. StudyPug video lessons walk through each transformation step by step with worked examples on graph paper and coordinate planes.
Similarity and Trigonometry
Students explore dilations and similarity transformations to understand why two figures are similar. The AA similarity criterion follows directly from these ideas. Right triangle trigonometry — sine, cosine, and tangent ratios — grows out of similarity concepts, and the Pythagorean Theorem ties it all together for solving applied problems. Practice problems on StudyPug let students work through real-world scenarios involving angles and distances.
Circles and Geometric Constructions
Circle theorems cover inscribed angles, radii, chords, and tangent lines. Students construct inscribed and circumscribed circles of triangles and prove properties of quadrilaterals inscribed in circles. Arc length and sector area connect to radian measure, giving students an early look at concepts they will revisit in precalculus and calculus.
Coordinate Geometry and Equations
Using coordinates, students derive the equations of circles and parabolas, prove slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines, and compute perimeters and areas using the distance formula. These algebraic tools connect geometry to the broader mathematics students are learning across their high school courses.
Volume and Modeling
Three-dimensional geometry covers cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres. Students identify cross-sections of solids and apply volume formulas to real problems. Geometric modeling topics ask students to use shapes, measures, and density concepts to solve design problems — skills that connect directly to science and engineering contexts.
