Planimetric constructions of basic plane figures. 4. Constructions of the regular polygons. 5. Geometric mappings in the plane, congruent mappings in the plane. 6. Similar mappings in the plane. 7. Sets of all the points with the given properties, power of a point to a circle, chordal, potential point. 8. Conics, focal properties of conics. 9. Axis affinity in the plane. 10. Central collineation in the plane. 11. Representation of conics using planar axial affinity. 12. Representation of conics using planar central collineation. 13. Apollonius's problems. 14. Reserve.

Learning outcomes
Planimetry. Repetition of basic planimetric terms, properties of geometric planar objects, congruent and similar mappings in the plane. Planimetric constructive problems. Enhancement of secondary school knowledge of students in the topic of conics, familiarization of students with topics as axial affinity and perspective collineation in the plane, a power of a point with respect to a circle, radical axis and potential point, Apollonius's problems.
Knowledge of basic planar structures and their properties, constructions of regular polygons, geometric mappings in the plane (congruent and similar mappings, axial affinity and perspective collineation), focal properties of the conics, and Apollonius's problems.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of secondary school mathematics and planimetry. Drawing skills.
