A. Geometric Properties
- Understand and apply properties of polygons.
- Quadrilaterals, including squares, rectangles, parallelograms,
trapezoids, rhombi
- Regular polygons
- Understand and apply the concept of similarity.
- Using proportions to find missing measures
- Scale drawings
- Models of 3D objects
- Use logic and reasoning to make and support conjectures about
geometric objects.
B. Transforming Shapes
- Understand and apply transformations.
- Finding the image, given the pre-image, and vice-versa
- Sequence of transformations needed to map one figure onto
another
- Reflections, rotations, and translations result in images
congruent to the pre-image
- Dilations (stretching/shrinking) result in images similar
to the pre-image
C. Coordinate Geometry
- Use coordinates in four quadrants to represent geometric concepts.
- Use a coordinate grid to model and quantify transformations
(e.g., translate right 4 units).
D. Units of Measurement
- Solve problems requiring calculations that involve different
units of measurement within a measurement system (e.g., 4'3"
plus 7'10" equals 12'1").
- Select and use appropriate units and tools to measure quantities
to the degree of precision needed in a particular problem-solving
situation.
- Recognize that all measurements of continuous quantities are
approximations.
E. Measuring Geometric Objects
- Develop and apply strategies for finding perimeter and area.
- Geometric figures made by combining triangles, rectangles
and circles or parts of circles
- Estimation of area using grids of various sizes
- Recognize that the volume of a pyramid or cone is one-third
of the volume of the prism or cylinder with the same base and
height (e.g., use rice to compare volumes of figures with same
base and height).
