Geometry & Spatial Reasoning
STAAR REVIEW
TEKS: (7.6) Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student compares and classifies two- and three
dimensional figures using geometric vocabulary and properties. The student is expected to(A) use angle
measurements to classify pairs of angles as complementary or supplementary; Supporting Standard (B)
use properties to classify triangles and quadrilaterals; Supporting Standard (C) use properties to classify
three-dimensional figures, including pyramids, cones, prisms, and cylinders; and Supporting Standard
(D) use critical attributes to define similarity. Readiness Standard

STAAR REVIEW
TEKS: (7.7) Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student uses coordinate geometry to describe location
on a plane. The student is expected to (A) locate and name points on a coordinate plane using ordered
pairs of integers; and Supporting Standard (B) graph reflections across the horizontal or vertical axis and
graph translations on a coordinate plane. Readiness Standard

1. Where is the location of quadrant I, quadrant II, quadrant III, and quadrant IV on the coordinate
plane?
2. How would you describe the process of finding and locating points on a coordinate plane? Include
the answers to the following questions: Where do you start from? What direction do you go? How
far do you go?
3. How is geometry used in art and architecture?
