Standards and Objectives

Standards

NCTM: Geometry Standard for Grades 9-12
Instructional Programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to-
   
Use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems

• draw and construct representations of two- and three- dimensional geometric objects using a variety of tools
• use geometric ideas to solve problems in, and gain insights into, other disciplines and other areas of interest such as art and architecture

CSDE: Standard 3 - Geometry and Measurement

3.1 Students should use properties and characteristics of two- and three- dimensional shapes and geometric theorems to describe relationships, communicate ideas and solve problems.
      a.  Investigate relationships among plane and solid geometric figures using geometric models, constructions, and tools.

3.2 Students should use spatial reasoning, location, and geometric relationships to solve problems
      a.  Verify geometric relationships using algebra, coordinate geometry, and transformations.

Objectives

1. Students will be able to explore and experiment with mathematical concepts in an interactive environment.
2. Students will be able to interpret mathematical concepts and present them in writing.
