A. Geometric Properties
- Understand and apply concepts involving lines, angles, and planes.
- Complementary and supplementary angles
- Vertical angles
- Bisectors and perpendicular bisectors
- Parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting planes
- Intersection of plane with cube, cylinder, cone, and sphere
- Understand and apply the Pythagorean theorem.
- Understand and apply properties of polygons.
- Quadrilaterals, including squares, rectangles, parallelograms,
trapezoids, rhombi
- Regular polygons
- Sum of measures of interior angles of a polygon
- Which polygons can be used alone to generate a tessellation
and why
- 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
- Use iterative procedures to generate geometric patterns.
- Fractals (e.g., the Koch Snowflake)
- Self-similarity
- Construction of initial stages
- Patterns in successive stages (e.g., number of triangles
in each stage of Sierpinski's Triangle)
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").
- Use approximate equivalents between standard and metric systems
to estimate measurements (e.g., 5 kilometers is about 3 miles).
- Recognize that the degree of precision needed in calculations
depends on how the results will be used and the instruments used
to generate the measurements.
- 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.
- Solve problems that involve compound measurement units, such
as speed (miles per hour), air pressure (pounds per square inch),
and population density (persons per square mile).
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
- Impact of a dilation on the perimeter and area of a 2-dimensional
figure
- 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).
- Develop and apply strategies and formulas for finding the surface
area and volume of a three-dimensional figure.
- Volume - prism, cone, pyramid
- Surface area - prism (triangular or rectangular base), pyramid
(triangular or rectangular base)
- Impact of a dilation on the surface area and volume of a
three-dimensional figure
- Use formulas to find the volume and surface area of a sphere.
