Course Title: Geometry COE Highly Qualified Teacher: Matt Goebel, Brenda Mathiesen, Scott Sorensen Advisor: Sandy Baird, Joel Evanson, Matt Goebel, Josh Hansen, Rick Havermann, Brandon Hollen, Brenda Mathiesen, Jennifer Perrizo, Scott Sorensen Dates of Class: 8/31/2015 – 6/15/2016 Credits: 0.50 Certificated Contact Method: In-Person Instructional Contact Class Description: This course is designed for students to prepare a portfolio of evidence as an alternative to meeting Washington State Standards for Geometry. The course will provide students with the opportunity to strengthen their geometry skills in preparation for the End of Course assessment (EOC) while producing evidence of their mathematical knowledge in the form of a series of state approved “mini” assessments. This course is similar to a typical geometry class which formalizes and extends students’ geometric experiences from the middle grades. Students explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. Students experience geometry as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. Learning Materials: Geometry. Holt McDougal 2011 Khan, Alex State and District sponsored support materials Learning Goals: Logical Arguments and Proof: G.1.A Distinguish between inductive and deductive reasoning. Students generate and test conjectures inductively and then prove (or disprove) their conclusions deductively. Example: A student first hypothesizes that the number of degrees in a polygon = 180 * (s 2), where s represents the number of sides, and then proves this is true. When was the student using inductive reasoning? When was s/he using deductive reasoning? Justify your answers. G.1.C Use deductive reasoning to prove that a valid geometric statement is true. o Valid proofs may be presented in paragraph, two-column, or flow-chart formats. Proof by contradiction is a form of deductive reasoning. Example: G.1.D Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of a valid proposition and determine their G.1.F Distinguish between definitions and undefined geometric terms and explain the role of definitions, undefined terms, postulates (axioms), and theorems. Lines and Angles G.2.A Know, prove, and apply theorems about parallel and perpendicular lines. o Students should be able to summarize and explain basic theorems. They are not expected to recite lists of theorems, but they should know the conclusion of a theorem when given its hypothesis. Examples: G.2.B Know, prove, and apply theorems about angles, including angles that arise from parallel lines intersected by a transversal. Two and Three – Dimensional Figures: G.3.A Know, explain, and apply basic postulates and theorems about triangles and the special lines, line segments, and rays associated with a triangle. Examples: o Prove that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. o Prove and explain theorems about the incenter, circumcenter, orthocenter, and centroid. o The rural towns of Atwood, Bridgeville, and Carnegie are building a communications tower to serve the needs of all three towns. They want to position the tower so that the distance from each town to the tower is equal. Where should they locate the tower? How far will it be from each town? G.3.B Determine and prove triangle congruence, triangle similarity, and other properties of triangles. Students should identify necessary and sufficient conditions for congruence and similarity in triangles, and use these conditions in proofs. Examples: G.3.D Know, prove, and apply the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. G.3.E Solve problems involving the basic trigonometric ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent. o Example: A 12-foot ladder leans against a wall to form a 63° angle with the ground. How many feet above the ground is the point on the wall at which the ladder is resting? G.3.F Know, prove, and apply basic theorems about parallelograms. Properties may include those that address symmetry and properties of angles, diagonals, and angle sums. Students may use inductive and deductive reasoning and counterexamples. Examples: G.3.G Know, prove, and apply theorems about properties of quadrilaterals and other polygons. Geometry in the Coordinate Plane: G.4.A Determine the equation of a line in the coordinate plane that is described geometrically, including a line through two given points, a line through a given point parallel to a given line, and a line through a given point perpendicular to a given line. Examples: o Write an equation for the perpendicular bisector of a given line segment. o Determine the equation of a line through the points (5, 3) and (5, -2). o Prove that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative inverses of each other. G.4.B Determine the coordinates of a point that is described geometrically. Examples: Determine the coordinates for the midpoint of a given line segment. Given the coordinates of three vertices of a parallelogram, determine all possible coordinates for the fourth vertex. Given the coordinates for the vertices of a triangle, find the coordinates for the center of the circumscribed circle and the length of its radius. G.4.C Verify and apply properties of triangles and quadrilaterals in the coordinate plane. o A regular base. Describe the lateral faces required for an oblique pyramid that has a regular base. Geometric Transformations: G.5.B Determine and apply properties of transformations. o Students make and test conjectures about compositions of transformations and inverses of transformations, the commutativity and associativity of transformations, and the congruence and similarity of two-dimensional figures under various transformations. Examples: Additional Key Content: G.6.C Apply formulas for surface area and volume of three-dimensional figures to solve problems. o Problems include those that are purely mathematical as well as those that arise in applied contexts. o Three-dimensional figures include right and oblique prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite three-dimensional figures. Examples: Performance Objectives: Students will: Recognize the difference and purposes of inductive and deductive reasoning. Formalize their reasoning skills which they use to validate conclusions, and give valid reasons for their conclusions. Learn appropriate structures for formal proof. Prove the relationships between angles formed by parallel lines, which are learned in 8th grade. Use theorems to prove other theorems and solve problems. Learn necessary and sufficient to prove triangles similar and congruent. Use triangles to prove properties of triangles and special quadrilaterals. Use indirect measurement for missing sides and angles of right triangles. Continue to use and build their understanding of algebra, and connecting that understanding to geometric figures and properties of those figures. Focus on how the attributes of geometric figures can be determined or verified through the properties of transformations. Use dilation as a way to approach similarity and scale. Use formulas and indirect measurement strategies to find volume and surface area of two and three-dimensional figures, and solve problems. Use appropriate conversions of units, including conversions in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions.

Once they have gained needed the skills through teacher prepared practice they can then complete one of the State assigned “Tasks” which are built around several learning targets that requires them to apply their skills to real – world problems. These “Tasks” act as an assessment of the student’s ability to apply both skills and knowledge of theory when completing a given problem. • Preparation in class • Formative assessment • Task completion Progress Criteria/Methods of Evaluation: Students complete the State required “Tasks” and meet all of the requirements of the State COE CEDARS Codes: 02994 Mathematics Proficiency Development District Code: 3300A
