Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Relationships (e.g. distance, slope of line) between sets of points.
  • Properties of geometric shapes.
  • Coordinate graphing rules and techniques.
  • Techniques for presenting a proof of geometric theorems.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Accurately determine what information is needed to prove or disprove a statement or theorem.
  • Accurately find the needed information and explain and justify conclusions.
  • Communicate logical reasoning in a systematic way to present a mathematical proof of geometric theorems.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Modeling geometric figures or relationships on a coordinate graph assists in determining truth of a statement or theorem.
  • Geometric theorems may be proven or disproven by examining the properties of the geometric shapes in the theorem through the use of appropriate algebraic techniques.

Vocabulary

  • Simple geometric theorems
  • Simple geometric figures
