TWO AND THREE DIMENSIONAL SHAPES

Properties and Relationships of Geometric Shapes
Learn the basic properties of, and relationships pertaining to, regular and irregular geometric shapes in two and three dimensions.

MODIFYING SHAPES

Geometric Concepts
Learn the geometric concepts of symmetry, reflections, congruency, similarity, perpendicularity, parallelism, and transformations, including flips, slides, turns and enlargements.


Tesselations
Learn how to predict and verify patterns involving tesselations (a covering of a plane with congruent copies of the same pattern with no holes and no overlaps, like floor tiles).

 

COORDINATE GEOMETRY

Geometric Properties
Learn to represent and apply geometric properties and relationships to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Sunshine State Standards 6-8

Mathematics/Geometry and Spacial Sense

Standard 1: The student describes, draws, identifies, and analyzes two- and three-dimensional shapes (MA.C.1.3).

Standard 2: The student visualizes and illustrates ways in which shapes can be combined, subdivided, and changed (MA.C.2.3).

Standard 3: The student uses coordinate geometry to locate objects in both two and three dimensions and to describe objects algebraically (MA.C.3.3).
