Standard 2.0 Knowledge of Geometry
Students will apply the properties of one-, two-, or three-dimensional geometric figures to describe, reason, or solve problems about shape, size, position, or motion of objects.
Topic
A. Plane Geometric Figures
Indicator
- 1. Analyze the properties of plane geometric figures
Objectives
- Identify, describe, and label points, lines, rays, line segments, vertices, angles, and planes using correct symbolic notation
- Identify and describe line segments
Assessment limit: Use diagonal line segments
- Identify and describe the parts of a circle
Assessment limit: Use radius, diameter, or circumference
Indicator
- 2. Analyze geometric relationships
Objectives
- Compare and classify triangles by sides
Assessment limit: Use scalene, equilateral, or isosceles
- Compare and classify triangles by angle measure
Assessment limit: Use equiangular, obtuse, acute, or right
- Determine a third angle measure of a triangle given two angle measures
Assessment limit: Use the concept of the sum of angles in any triangle is 180° without using a diagram
- Identify and compare the relationship between parts of a circle
Assessment limit: Use radius, diameter and circumference (
=3.14)
Topic
C. Representation of Geometric Figures
Indicator
- 1. Represent plane geometric figures
Objectives
- Draw geometric figures using a variety of tools
Assessment limit: Draw triangles given the measures of 2 sides and one angle or 2 angles and 1 side using whole numbers (0-20) and angle measures (0°-179°)
- Identify, describe, or draw a polygon
Assessment limit: Use the first quadrant given no more than six coordinates
- Identify or describe angle relationships
Assessment limit: Use perpendicular bisectors or angle bisectors
Topic
D. Congruence and Similarity
Indicator
- 1. Analyze congruent figures
Objective
- Identify and describe congruent polygons and their corresponding parts
Topic
E. Transformations
Indicator
- 1. Analyze a transformation on a coordinate plane
Objective
- Plot the result of one transformation (translation, reflection, rotation) on a coordinate plane
Note: Highlighted assessment limits will be tested in the no calculator section of MSA. In the assessment limit, (0-10) or (-10 to 10) means all numbers in the problem or the answer will fall within the range of 0 to 10 (including endpoints) or -10 to 10 (including endpoints), respectively. All content standards are tested in MSA but not all objectives. Objectives that have an assessment limit are tested on MSA. Objectives without an assessment limit are not tested on MSA.
