CIRCLES

  • G.CI.1 Define, identify, and use relationships among the following: radius, diameter, arc, measure of an arc, chord, secant, tangent, congruent circles, and concentric circles.
  • G.CI.2.a The relationship that exists between central, inscribed, and circumscribed angles;
  • G.CI.2.b Inscribed angles on a diameter are right angles; and
  • G.CI.2.c The radius of a circle is perpendicular to a tangent where the radius intersects the circle.
  • G.CI.3 Solve real-world and other mathematical problems that involve finding measures of circumference, areas of circles and sectors, and arc lengths and related angles (central, inscribed, and intersections of secants and tangents). (E)

GEOMETRY FOUNDATIONS

  • G.GF.1 Describe the structure of and relationships within an axiomatic system (undefined terms, definitions, axioms and postulates, methods of reasoning, and theorems) and explain differences among supporting evidence, counterexamples, and actual proofs. (E)
  • G.GF.2 State, use, and examine the validity of the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of conditional (“if – then”) and bi-conditional (“if and only if”) statements.
  • G.GF.3 Develop geometric proofs, including those involving coordinate geometry, using two-column, paragraph, and flow chart formats.
  • G.GF.4 Prove, construct, and apply theorems about parallel and perpendicular lines, parallel lines and transversals, vertical angles, and perpendicular bisectors. (E)
  • G.GF.5 Determine if a pair of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither by comparing the slopes in coordinate graphs and equations. (E)
  • G.GF.6 Use tools to explain and justify the process to construct congruent segments and angles, angle bisectors, perpendicular bisectors, altitudes, medians, parallel and perpendicular lines, and parallel lines and transversals.
