Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students build on the foundational concepts as presented in Grades K-8, expanding their understanding through other mathematical experiences. Geometric thinking and spatial reasoning play a critical role in geometry. Geometric figures provide ways to represent mathematical situations and to express generalizations about space and spatial relationships. Students use geometric thinking to understand mathematical concepts and the relationships among them. Geometry consists of the study of geometric figures of zero, one, two and three dimensions and the relationships among them. Students study properties and relationships having to do with size, shape, location, direction, and orientation of these figures. Geometry can be used to mode and represent many mathematical and real-world situations. Students perceive the connection between geometry and the real and mathematical worlds and use geometric ideas, relationships, and properties to solve problems. Students use concrete, pictorial, numerical, symbolic, graphical, and verbal tools and technology to solve meaningful problems by representing and transforming figures and analyzing relationships. This course applies a connection, integration and applications approach. Students will relate and apply geometric concepts to algebra, statistics, data analysis, and probability. A connection is made to other courses such as biology, history, art, etc., with problems that involve many of the geometric concepts and encourage the use of technology.
