MATHEMATICS Geometry Unit 1 1 Course Description Geometry stresses the ability to reason logically and to think critically, using spatial sense. A major part of the course will be devoted to teaching the student how to present a formal proof. Geometric properties of both two and three dimensions are emphasized as they apply to points, lines, planes, and solids. In this course students learn to recognize and work with geometric concepts in various contexts. They build on ideas of inductive and deductive reasoning, logic, concepts, and techniques of Euclidean plane and solid geometry and develop an understanding of mathematical structure, method, and applications of Euclidean plane and solid geometry. Students use visualizations, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems. Topics of study include points, lines, and angles; triangles; quadrilaterals and other polygons; circles; coordinate geometry; three-dimensional solids; geometric constructions; symmetry; similarity; and the use of transformations. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Use and prove basic theorems involving congruence and similarity of figures; determine how changes in dimensions affect perimeter and area of common geometric figures; apply and use the properties of proportion; perform basic constructions with straight edge and compass; prove the Pythagorean theorem; use the Pythagorean theorem to determine distance and find missing dimensions of right triangles; know and use formulas for perimeter, circumference, area, volume, lateral and surface area of common figures; find and use measures of sides, interior and exterior angles of polygons to solve problems; use relationships between angles in polygons, complementary, supplementary, vertical and exterior angle properties; use special angle and side relationships in special right triangles; understand, apply, and solve problems using basic trigonometric functions; prove and use relationships in circles to solve problems; prove and use theorems involving properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal, quadrilaterals and circles; write geometric proofs, including indirect proofs; construct and judge validity of logical arguments; prove theorems using coordinate geometry including the midpoint of a segment and distance formula; understand transformations in the coordinate plane; construct logical verifications to test conjectures and counterexamples; and write basic mathematical arguments in paragraph and statement-reason form. 2 Pacing Chart – Unit 1 # 1 2 3 4 5 6 Student Learning Objective Use the undefined notion of a point, line, and distance along a line and distance around a circular arc to develop definitions for angles, circles, parallel lines, perpendicular lines and line segments. Apply the definitions of angles, circles, parallel lines, perpendicular lines and line segments to describe rotations, reflections, and translations. Develop and perform rigid transformations that include reflections, rotations, translations and dilations using geometric software, graph paper, tracing paper, and geometric tools and compare them to non-rigid transformations. Use rigid transformations to determine, explain and prove congruence of geometric figures. Create proofs of theorems involving lines, angles, triangles, and parallelograms.* (Please note G.CO.10 will be addressed again in unit2 and G.CO.11 will be addressed again in unit 4) Generate formal constructions with paper folding, geometric software and geometric tools to include, but not limited to, the construction of regular polygons inscribed in a circle.

(Identified by PARCC Model Content Frameworks) 3 Research about Teaching and Learning Mathematics Structure teaching of mathematical concepts and skills around problems to be solved (Checkly, 1997; Wood & Sellars, 1996; Wood & Sellars, 1997) Encourage students to work cooperatively with others (Johnson & Johnson, 1975; Davidson, 1990) Use group problem-solving to stimulate students to apply their mathematical thinking skills (Artzt & Armour-Thomas, 1992) Students interact in ways that support and challenge one another’s strategic thinking (Artzt, Armour-Thomas, & Curcio, 2008) Activities structured in ways allowing students to explore, explain, extend, and evaluate their progress (National Research Council, 1999) There are three critical components to effective mathematics instruction (Shellard & Moyer, 2002): Teaching for conceptual understanding Developing children’s procedural literacy Promoting strategic competence through meaningful problem-solving investigations Teachers should be: Demonstrating acceptance and recognition of students’ divergent ideas. Challenging students to think deeply about the problems they are solving, extending thinking beyond the solutions and algorithms required to solve the problem Influencing learning by asking challenging and interesting questions to accelerate students’ innate inquisitiveness and foster them to examine concepts further. Projecting a positive attitude about mathematics and about students’ ability to “do” mathematics Students should be: Actively engaging in “doing” mathematics Solving challenging problems Investigating meaningful real-world problems Making interdisciplinary connections Developing an understanding of mathematical knowledge required to “do” mathematics and connect the language of mathematical ideas with numerical representations Sharing mathematical ideas, discussing mathematics with one another, refining and critiquing each other’s ideas and understandings Communicating in pairs, small group, or whole group presentations Using multiple representations to communicate mathematical ideas Using connections between pictures, oral language, written symbols, manipulative models, and real-world situations Using technological resources and other 21st century skills to support and enhance mathematical understanding 4 Mathematics is not a stagnate field of textbook problems; rather, it is a dynamic way of constructing meaning about the world around us, generating knowledge and understanding about the real world every day. Students should be metaphorically rolling up their sleeves and “doing mathematics” themselves, not watching others do mathematics for them or in front of them. (Protheroe, 2007) Conceptual-Based Model/Course Philosophy The purpose of the Conceptual-Based Model is to allow students the time to explore mathematical concepts to promote academic rigor and high level of student discourse to concurrently develop conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem-solving skills. During the 90 minute block of mathematics instruction, teachers will select and set up a mathematical task that targets the mathematical goal(s) for the lesson. The teacher sets the stage for learning by ensuring the objective/rationale of the lesson is well-defined and connected to the task. The task should build on student’s prior knowledge, life experiences, and culture allowing students to share their prior knowledge and life/cultural experiences as it relates to the task to ensure that students understand the context of the problem. The instructional goal is to introduce the activity/task to the students allowing them to have access to learning while maintaining the cognitive demands of the task. Teachers will then support the students’ exploration of the task; this can be done independently, in pairs or in small groups or a combination of all. It is highly recommended that students be given the opportunity to privately work on a task to generate solutions on their own. Students are encouraged to share their findings with their peers in small group to compare their solutions. As students are actively engaged in constructing meaning of the mathematical concept(s) being taught and communicating their understanding of the concept(s) with their peers, the teacher monitors the development of student understanding by observing student thinking and using questions to stimulate thinking to drive students toward the aimed mathematical goal(s). The teacher assesses students’ understanding of key mathematical ideas, problem-solving strategies, and the use of and connection between models and representations to determine what the student knows. The teacher advances the students’ understanding to move the student beyond their present thinking and expand what they know to an additional situation. Teachers have been trained to strategically select groups of students who have different solution paths to the same task, different representations and errors/misconceptions to share, discuss, and analyze as a whole group. By providing these instructional opportunities, the teacher will then be able to orchestrate the class discussion by providing students with the opportunities to make their learning public as students share, discuss, analyze, clarify, extend, connect, strengthen, and record their thinking strategies. After students discuss, justify, and challenge the various solution paths that were shared, a summary of the learning is articulated and connected to the objective of the lesson. Students should be given an opportunity to close the lesson with a reflection on their learning. 5 Effective Pedagogical Routines/Instructional Strategies Collaborative Problem Solving Analyze Student Work Connect Previous Knowledge to New Learning Identify Student’s Mathematical Understanding Making Thinking Visible Develop and Demonstrate Mathematical Practices Identify Student’s Mathematical Misunderstandings Interviews Role Playing Inquiry-Oriented and Exploratory Approach Diagrams, Charts, Tables, and Graphs Multiple Solution Paths and Strategies Anticipate Likely and Possible Student Responses Use of Multiple Representations Collect Different Student Approaches Explain the Rationale of your Math Work Multiple Response Strategies Quick Writes Asking Assessing and Advancing Questions Pair/Trio Sharing Revoicing Turn and Talk Marking Charting Gallery Walks Small Group and Whole Class Discussions Student Modeling Recapping Challenging Pressing for Accuracy and Reasoning Maintain the Cognitive Demand 6 Technology Standards 8.1.12.A.1, 8.1.12.A.2, 8.1.12.E.1 Technology: 8.1.12.A.1 Construct a spreadsheet, enter data, and use mathematical or logical functions to manipulate data, generate charts and graphs, and interpret the results. 8.1.12.A.2 Produce and edit a multi-page document for a commercial or professional audience using desktop publishing and/or graphics software. 8.1.12.E.1 Develop a systematic plan of investigation with peers and experts from other countries to produce an innovative solution to a state, national, or worldwide problem or issue.
