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 and describe relationships of lines and line segments in geometric figures or pictures
Assessment limit: Use parallel or perpendicular lines and line segments
- Identify polygons within a composite figure
Assessment limit: Use polygons with no more than 8 sides as part of a composite figure comprised of triangles or quadrilaterals
- Identify and describe the radius and diameter of a circle
Indicator
- 2. Analyze geometric relationships
Objectives
- Compare and classify quadrilaterals by length of sides and types of angles (Include the angle symbol <ABC)
Assessment limit: Use squares, rectangles, rhombi, parallelograms, and trapezoids
- Compare triangles by sides
Topic
B. Solid Geometric Figures
Indicator
- 1. Analyze the properties of solid geometric figures
Objectives
- Identify and classify pyramids and prisms by the number of edges, faces, or vertices
Assessment limit: Use triangular pyramids, rectangular pyramids, triangular prisms, or rectangular prisms
- Identify and classify pyramids and prisms by the base
Assessment limit: Use triangular prisms and pyramids or rectangular prisms and pyramids
Indicator
- 2. Analyze the relationship between plane geometric figures and faces of solid geometric figures
Objective
- Compare a plane figure to faces of solid geometric figure
Assessment limit: Analyze and identify the number or arrangement of rectangles needed to make a rectangular prism, number of triangles/rectangles needed to make a triangular prism, and the number of circles/rectangles needed to make a cylinder.
Topic
C. Representation of Geometric Figures
Indicator
- 1. Represent plane geometric figures
Objective
- Identify, describe, and draw angles, parallel line segments, and perpendicular line segments
Assessment limit: Provide their dimensions as whole numbers (0 - 20) or angle measurements (0° - 179°)
Topic
D. Congruence and Similarity
Indicator
- 1. Analyze similar figures to
Objective
- Identify or describe geometric figures as similar
Assessment limit: Use same shape and different size
Topic
E. Transformations
Indicator
- 1. Analyze a transformation
Objective
- Identify and describe the results of translations, reflections, and rotations of geometric figures
Assessment limit: Use translation along a vertical line, reflection over a horizontal line, or rotation 90° or 180° around a given point
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.
