Standard 2.0 Knowledge of Geometry
Students will apply the properties of one-, two-, or three-dimensional geometric figures to describe, reason, or solve problems about shape, size, position, or motion of objects.
Topic
A. Plane Geometric Figures
Indicator
- 1. Analyze the properties of plane geometric figures
Objectives
- Identify or describe points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles
- Identify or describe polygons
Assessment limit: Use triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, or octagons and the number of sides or vertices
- Identify or describe quadrilaterals
Assessment limit: Use squares, rectangles, rhombi, parallelograms, and trapezoids and the length of sides
- Identify triangles, rectangles, or squares as part of a composite figure
Assessment limit: Use a combination of 2 of the stated polygons
Indicator
- 2. Analyze geometric relationships
Objective
- Identify right angles
Topic
B. Solid Geometric Figures
Indicator
- 1. Analyze the properties of solid geometric figures
Objective
- Identify and describe cubes, rectangular prisms, and triangular prisms
Assessment limit: Use cubes and the number of edges, faces, vertices, or shape of each face
Topic
C. Representation of Geometric Figures
Indicator
- 1. Represent plane geometric figures
Objective
- Sketch triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, and circles
Topic
D. Congruence
Indicator
- 1. Analyze congruent figures
Objective
- Identify and describe geometric figures as congruent
Assessment limit: Use the same shape and same size
Topic
E. Transformations
Indicator
- 1. Analyze a transformation
Objective
- Identify and describe the results of a slide, flip, and turn
Assessment limit: Use horizontal slide, flip over a vertical line, or turn of 90° clockwise around a given point of a geometric figure or picture
Indicator
- 2. Analyze geometric figures or pictures
Note: Highlighted assessment limits will be tested in the no calculator section of MSA. In the assessment limit, (0-10) or (-10 to 10) means all numbers in the problem or the answer will fall within the range of 0 to 10 (including endpoints) or -10 to 10 (including endpoints), respectively. All content standards are tested in MSA but not all objectives. Objectives that have an assessment limit are tested on MSA. Objectives without an assessment limit are not tested on MSA.
