Students will be able to:
Use models and an inductive/intuitive process to develop geometric concepts.
Identify, classify, describe, and define 2- and 3-dimensional geometric figures, parts of figures, and their relationships.
Use definitions, assumptions, and theorems to verify geometric statements.
Distinguish between a statement and its converse, and recognize that the two are not logically equivalent.
Develop and use models to demonstrate understanding of geometric concepts.
Determine perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of plane and solid geometric figures using appropriate formulas.
Explore and use similarity with respect to perimeter and area of polygons and circles.
Use known relationships to determine the size of missing parts of geometric figures.
Use appropriate tools to perform basic geometric constructions.
Explore the number π (Pi) and use it to determine circumference, area, surface area, and volume of 2- and 3-dimensional figures.
Use geometric representations to solve problems in related fields.
Use coordinate geometry to solve problems.
Recognize and distinguish between different transformations and their uses.
