Standard 3
The Three Components
•Conceptual Understanding consists of those
relationships constructed internally and connected to
already existing ideas.
•Procedural Fluency is the skill in carrying out
procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently, and
appropriately.
•Problem Solving is the ability to formulate,
represent, and solve mathematical problems.

 Performance indicators are organized under major
understandings within the content and process strands
and content performance indicators are separated into
bands within each of the content strands.
 Performance indicators are organized under the
seven key ideas and contain an includes (testing

Comparison of 1998 Seven Key Ideas
and 2005 Process and Content Strands
1998 Key Ideas
Broad in scope and transcend the various
branches of mathematics (arithmetic, number
theory, algebra, geometry, etc.)
Lack of specificity in the may include column
for each performance indicators
Difference between the may include and
includes columns for performance indicators is
not clearly indicated
Processes of mathematics (problem solving,
communication, etc.) are, for the most part,
included in the narrative of the document.
2005 Process and Content Strands
Process and Content Strands are aligned to the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
Standards

The processes of mathematics as well as the
content of mathematics have performance
indicators
Performance indicators are clearly delineated
and more specific.

Which topics have not
been addressed in
previous high school
courses?
centroid
circumcenter
incenter of a triangle
orthocenter
centroid (G) The point of concurrency of the medians of a
triangle; the center of gravity in a triangle.
circumcenter (G) The center of the circle circumscribed
about a polygon; the point that is equidistant from the
vertices of any polygon.
incenter of a triangle (G) The center of the circle that is
inscribed in a triangle; the point of concurrence of the three
angle bisectors of the triangle which is equidistant from the
sides of the triangle.
orthocenter (G) The point of concurrence of the three
altitudes of a triangle.
isometry
symmetry plane
isometry (G) A transformation of the plane
that preserves distance.
If P′ is the image of P, and Q′ is the image of Q,
then the distance from P′ to Q′ is the same as the
distance from P to Q.
symmetry plane (G) A plane that intersects a
three-dimensional figure such that one half is the
reflected image of the other half.
A Symmetry Plane
Geometric Relationships 1
Theorems and Postulates
G.G.1 If a line is perpendicular to each of two intersecting
lines at their point of intersection, then the line is
perpendicular to the plane determined by them
G.G.2 Through a given point there passes one and only
one plane perpendicular to a given line
G.G.3 Through a given point there passes one and only
one line perpendicular to a given plane
G.G.4 Two lines perpendicular to the same plane are
coplanar
G.G.5 Two planes are perpendicular to each other if and
only if one plane contains a line perpendicular to the
second plane
G.G.1b
Study the drawing below of a pyramid whose base is
quadrilateral ABCD. John claims that line segment EF
is the altitude of the pyramid. Explain what John must
do to prove that he is correct.
G.G.3a
Examine the diagram of
a right triangular prism.
Describe how a plane and the prism could intersect
so that the intersection is:
a line parallel to one of the triangular bases
a line perpendicular to the triangular bases
a triangle
a rectangle
a trapezoid
G.G.4b The figure below in three-dimensional space,
where AB is perpendicular to BC and DC is perpendicular
to BC, illustrates that two lines perpendicular to the same
line are not necessarily parallel. Must two lines
perpendicular to the same plane be parallel? Discuss this
problem with a partner.
Geometric Relationships 2
More Theorems and Postulates
G.G.6 If a line is perpendicular to a plane, then any
line perpendicular to the given line at its point of
intersection with the given plane is in the given
plane
G.G.7 If a line is perpendicular to a plane, then
every plane containing the line is perpendicular
to the given plane
G.G.8 If a plane intersects two parallel planes,
then the intersection is two parallel lines
G.G.9 If two planes are perpendicular to the same
line, they are parallel
G.G.7a
Examine the four figures below:
Each figure has how many symmetry planes?
Describe the location of all the symmetry planes for
each figure.
G.G.9a
The figure below shows a right hexagonal
prism.
A plane that intersects a three-dimensional figure such that
one half is the reflected image of the other half is called a
symmetry plane. On a copy of the figure sketch a symmetry
plane. Then write a description of the symmetry plane that
uses the word parallel.
On a copy of the figure sketch another symmetry plane.
Then write a description that uses the word perpendicular.
Geometric Relationships 3
Prisms
G.G.10 The lateral edges of a prism are
congruent and parallel
G.G.11 Two prisms have equal volumes if
their bases have equal areas and their
altitudes are equal
G.G.11a
Examine the prisms below. Calculate the volume of each of the prisms. Observe
your results and make a mathematical conjecture. Share your conjecture with
several other students and formulate a conjecture that the entire group can agree
on. Write a paragraph that proves your conjecture.
Locus
G.G.21 Concurrence of medians, altitudes,
angle bisectors, and perpendicular
bisectors of triangles
G.G.21a
Using dynamic geometry software locate the
circumcenter, incenter, orthocenter, and centroid of a
given triangle. Use your sketch to answer the
following questions:
Do any of the four centers always remain inside the
circle?
If a center is moved outside the triangle, under what
circumstances will it happen?
Are the four centers ever collinear? If so, under what
circumstances?
Describe what happens to the centers if the triangle
is a right triangle.
Informal and Formal Proofs 1
G.G.43 Theorems about the centroid of a
triangle, dividing each median into
segments whose lengths are in the ratio
2:1
G.G.43a
The vertices of a triangle ABC are A(4,5),
B(6,1), and C(8,9). Determine the coordinates
of the centroid of triangle ABC and investigate
the lengths of the segments of the medians.
Make a conjecture.
Informal and Formal Proofs 2
Similarity
G.G.46 Theorems about proportional
relationships among the segments of the
sides of the triangle, given one or more
lines parallel to one side of a triangle and
intersecting the other two sides of the
triangle
G.G.46a
In ΔABC , DE is drawn parallel to AC . Model this drawing
using dynamic geometry software. Using the measuring tool,
determine the lengths AD, DB, CE, EB, DE, and AC. Use
these lengths to form ratios and to determine if there is a
relationship between any of the ratios. Drag the vertices of
the original triangle to see if any of the ratios remain the
same. Write a proof to establish your work.
Transformational Geometry
G.G.60 Similarities: observing orientation,
numbers of invariant points, and/or
parallelism
G.G.60a
In the accompanying figure, ΔABC is an equilateral
triangle. If ΔADE is similar to ΔABC, describe the
isometry and the dilation whose composition is the
similarity that will transform ΔABC onto ΔADE.
G.G.60b
Harry claims that ΔPMN is the image of ΔNOP under a
reflection over PN.. How would you convince him that
he is incorrect? Under what isometry would ΔPMN be
the image of ΔNOP?
