Ratio and Proportional Relationships
  • MAT-06.AR.RP.01 Describe the concept of a ratio relationship between two quantities using ratio language and visual models.
  • MAT-06.AR.RP.03 Make and use tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, and equations to reason about ratios, rates, and unit rates.
  • MAT-07.AR.RP.02 Analyze the relationships between the dependent and independent variables of a proportional relationship using graphs and tables. Explain what a point (x, y) on the graph of a proportional relationship means in terms of the situation, with special attention to the points (0, 0) and (1, k) where k is the unit rate.
  • MAT-07.AR.RP.03 Identify the constant of proportionality in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships. Represent proportional relationships by an equation of the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality, and describe the meaning of each variable (y, k, x) in the context of the situation.
  • MAT-07.AR.RP.04 Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step problems involving ratios, percents, and scale drawings of geometric figures, including authentic problems.
  • MAT-08.AR.EE.03 Explain the characteristics of a linear relationship, including identifying the slope and yintercept in tables, graphs, equations, and descriptions.
  • MAT-08.AR.EE.04 Represent linear relationships using tables, graphs, equations, and descriptions when given a relationship in one of these forms.
  • MAT-10.GM.14 Verify experimentally and justify the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor.
  • MAT-10.GM.15 Use transformations to decide if two given figures are similar. Apply the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.
  • MAT-10.GM.16 Prove similarity theorems about triangles.
  • MAT-10.GM.18 Recognize how the properties of similar right triangles allow the trigonometric ratios to be defined and determine the sine, cosine, and tangent of an acute angle in a right triangle.
  • MAT-10.GM.20 Solve applied problems involving right triangles using trigonometric ratios, the Pythagorean Theorem, and special right triangles (30°-60°-90° and 45°-45°-90°).
  • MAT-10.GM.25 Explain and use the formulas for arc length and area of sectors of circles.
  • MAT-10.GM.26 Recognize that the radian measure of an angle is the ratio of the length of the arc to the length of the radius of a circle.
  • MAT-10.GM.29 Determine the midpoint or endpoint of a line segment using coordinates. (+) Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points that partitions the segment in a given ratio.
  • MAT-10.GM.36 Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; scaling a model).
  • MAT-12.GM.03 Determine and apply appropriate formulas to solve right and non-right triangle problems in context.

Transformations

  • MAT-08.GM.GF.01 Perform single transformations to a figure on or off the coordinate plane and determine whether the figures are congruent or similar.
  • MAT-08.GM.GF.02 Describe the characteristics of transformations on the coordinate plane using transformation language.
  • MAT-08.GM.GF.03 Name the type of transformation(s) needed to map a pre-image to its image.
  • MAT-09.AR.F.09 Identify the effect of transformations on the graph of a linear, absolute value, or quadratic function by replacing f(x) with f(x) + k, f(x - h) and af(x), for specific values of a, h, and k (both positive and negative). Find the values of a, h, and k given the graph of the function.
  • MAT-10.GM.02 Represent transformations in the plane. Describe transformations as functions that take 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).
  • MAT-10.GM.06 Predict the effect of a specified rigid motion on a given figure using geometric descriptions of rigid motions. Determine whether two figures are congruent using the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions.
  • MAT-10.GM.14 Verify experimentally and justify the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor.
  • MAT-10.GM.15 Use transformations to decide if two given figures are similar. Apply the meaning of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.

  • MAT-10.GM.17 Apply knowledge of congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems and prove relationships in various geometric figures.
  • MAT-12.AR.F.4 Identify the effect of transformations on the graph of a function by replacing f(x) with af(x), f(bx), f(x-h), and f(x) + k, for specific values of a, h, and k (both positive and negative). Find the values of a, b, h, and k given the graph of the function. Recognize even and odd functions from their graphs and equations.
  • MAT-12.NO.18 Multiply a vector by a scalar.
