Geometry
This is a traditional geometry course recommended for students who intend to pursue a 4-year college degree. Geometry is one of the most interesting, creative, and useful branches of mathematics. The topics covered in this class include a study
of deductive reasoning and proof, triangles, quadrilaterals, other polygons, geometric solids, and probability.

MAT-10.GM (GM) Geometry
- MAT-10.GM.01 Know precise definitions and notations of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment based on the undefined notions of point, line, and plane.
- MAT-10.GM.02 Represent transformations in the plane. Describe transformations as functions taking points in the plane as inputs and giving other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (i.e., rigid versus non-rigid motion).
- MAT-10.GM.03 Describe the rotations and reflections of a triangle, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon that map each figure onto itself or another figure.
- MAT-10.GM.04 Develop or verify the characteristics of rotations, reflections, and translations in angles,circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
- MAT-10.GM.05 Draw the image of a figure that has undergone a series of transformations [rotation(s),reflection(s), or translation(s)] of a geometric figure using a variety of methods (e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software).
