Math SAT Preparation: Geometry Lesson 2 of 2
2012-03-07
3. Learning Targets – What are the objectives for the lesson?
3.3 – Cite the EALRs/standards using the numbers and text. Usually limit the lesson to 1 – 2 EALRs.
Grade Level: High School - Geometry
Core Content: G.2. Lines and Angles
(Geometry/Measurement)
Description: Students study basic properties of parallel and perpendicular lines, their respective slopes,
and the properties of the angles formed when parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. They prove
related theorems and apply them to solve both mathematical and practical problems.
Finished up that one at the beginning of class.
Grade Level: High School – Geometry
Core Content: G.3. Two- and Three-Dimensional Figures
(Geometry/Measurement)
Description: Students know and can prove theorems about two- and three-dimensional geometric
figures, both formally and informally. They identify necessary and sufficient conditions for proving
congruence, similarity, and properties of figures. Triangles are a primary focus, beginning with general
properties of triangles, working with right triangles and special triangles, proving and applying the
Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, and applying the basic trigonometric ratios of sine, cosine, and
tangent. Students extend their learning to other polygons and the circle, and do some work with threedimensional figures.
Grade Level: High School – Geometry
Core Content: G.7. Reasoning, problem solving, and communication
Description: Students formalize the development of reasoning in Geometry as they become more
sophisticated in their ability to reason inductively and begin to use deductive reasoning in formal proofs.
They extend the problem-solving practices developed in earlier grades and apply them to more
challenging problems, including problems related to mathematical and applied situations. Students use
a coherent problem-solving process in which they analyze the situation to determine the question(s) to
be answered, synthesize given information, and identify implicit and explicit assumptions that have been
made. They examine their solution(s) to determine reasonableness, accuracy, and meaning in the
context of the original problem. They use correct mathematical language, terms, symbols, and
conventions as they address problems in Geometry and provide descriptions and justifications of
solution processes. The mathematical thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving processes students learn
in high school mathematics can be used throughout their lives as they deal with a world in which an
increasing amount of information is presented in quantitative ways, and more and more occupations
and fields of study rely on mathematics.
3.4 – Cite the corresponding GLEs/performance expectations using the numbers and text.
G.2.B Know…about angles, including angles that arise from parallel lines intersected by a transversal.
G.2.D Describe the intersections of lines in the plane …
G.3.C Use the properties of special right triangles (30°-60°-90° and 45°-45°-90°) to solve problems.
G.3.D Know… and apply the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.
G.3.I Explain and perform constructions related to the circle.

G.7.B Select and apply strategies to solve problems.
G.7.C Evaluate a solution for reasonableness, verify its accuracy, and interpret the solution in the
context of the original problem.
G.7.E Read and interpret diagrams, graphs, and text containing the symbols, language, and conventions
of mathematics.
G.7.F Summarize mathematical ideas with precision and efficiency for a given audience and purpose.
G.7.G Synthesize information to draw conclusions and evaluate the arguments and conclusions of
others.
3.5 – Cite the objectives (skills or concepts) for the lesson. What do you want students to think, know
and/or be able to do at the end of the lesson?
Students will be able to state properties of angles created by the intersection of a transversal with two
parallel lines. Namely:
 Students will be able to define condition for parallel lines (i.e. never intersect in the plane).
 Students will be able to state and apply theorem for alternate interior angles.
 Students will be able to combine alternate interior/exterior angles and vertical angles, plus
properties of supplementary angles to define all angles created by transversals.
 Students will be able to state and apply facts about triangles:
o Angles in a triangle sum to 180°
o Right triangles have only one 90° angle, side opposite that angle is hypotenuse, also the
longest side.
o Ratio of side lengths in a 45°-45°-90° triangle is 1:1:
o Ratio of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle is 1:
 Students will gain familiarity with Reference Information that is provided at the beginning of
every SAT math section.
 Students will be able to interpret and understand a multiple-choice, geometry-related problem
similar to those used on the SAT.
 Students will be able to choose an answer, defend/explain their answer, and explain why other
choices were not their answer.
3.6 – Rephrase your learning targets using student-friendly language.
Two (or more) lines are parallel when they don’t intersect in the plane. When parallel lines are cut by
another (third, non-parallel) line, then the smaller angles thus created are all equal, as are the larger
angles thus created. In the special case that the third line is perpendicular to any one of the parallel
lines, it is also parallel to the other line, and all angles thus created are 90°.
Know what a right triangle is, how angles are named, which side the hypotenuse is.
Use the Reference Information given with every math section on the SAT to solve problems related to
geometry including:
 Sum of angles in a triangle is 180°
 Pythagoras’ Theorem is a relationship between the length of sides of a right triangle.
 Area of a triangle, Perimeter of a triangle
 Degrees in a circle, area of a circle, circumference of a circle
 area of a triangle, 45°-45°-90° triangles, 30°-60°-90° triangles.
State why you pick certain answers, i.e. why other answer choices were not acceptable.

5. Instructing and Engaging Students in Learning – What will happen in the lesson?
5.5 – Describe the sequence of steps in the lesson in the following table. General lesson sequences may
be more directive (e.g., ITIP) or open (constructivist). Whatever design is used, the lesson should be
explicitly outlined.
Complete the following table:

Provide an estimate of time.

shorter sides must sum to a length greater than the largest side.
A lot of Academic Language in these slides. Linguistic demands are ability to read and
interpret geometry notation and naming procedures.
