2 The content of the mathematics standards is intended to support the following five goals for students: becoming mathematical problem solvers, communicating mathematically, reasoning mathematically, making mathematical connections, and using mathematical representations to model and interpret practical situations. Mathematical Problem Solving Students will apply mathematical concepts and skills and the relationships among them to solve problem situations of varying complexities. Students also will recognize and create problems from real-life data and situations within and outside mathematics and then apply appropriate strategies to find acceptable solutions. To accomplish this goal, students will need to develop a repertoire of skills and strategies for solving a variety of problem types. A major goal of the mathematics program is to help students become competent mathematical problem solvers. Mathematical Communication Students will use the language of mathematics, including specialized vocabulary and symbols, to express mathematical ideas precisely. Representing, discussing, reading, writing, and listening to mathematics will help students to clarify their thinking and deepen their understanding of the mathematics being studied. Mathematical Reasoning Students will recognize reasoning and proof as fundamental aspects of mathematics. Students will learn and apply inductive and deductive reasoning skills to make, test, and evaluate mathematical statements and to justify steps in mathematical procedures. Students will use logical reasoning to analyze an argument and to determine whether conclusions are valid. In addition, students will learn to apply proportional and spatial reasoning and to reason from a variety of representations such as graphs, tables, and charts. Mathematical Connections Students will relate concepts and procedures from different topics in mathematics to one another and see mathematics as an integrated field of study. Through the application of content and process skills, students will make connections between different areas of mathematics and between mathematics and other disciplines, especially science. Science and mathematics teachers and curriculum writers are encouraged to develop mathematics and science curricula that reinforce each other. Mathematical Representations Students will represent and describe mathematical ideas, generalizations, and relationships with a variety of methods. Students will understand that representations of mathematical ideas are an essential part of learning, doing, and communicating mathematics. Students should move easily among different representations graphical, numerical, algebraic, verbal, and physical and recognize that representation is both a process and a product Mathematics Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools Links to the Mathematics Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework 2009: Pre AP Geometry Mathematics Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework 2009: Pre AP Geometry 2

4 STANDARD G.1 TOPIC: REASONING, LINES, AND TRANSFORMATIONS The student will construct and judge the validity of a logical argument consisting of a set of premises and a conclusion. This will include a) identifying the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of a conditional statement; b) translating a short verbal argument into symbolic form; c) using Venn diagrams to represent set relationships; and d) using deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, and proof are critical in establishing general claims. Deductive reasoning is the method that uses logic to draw conclusions based on definitions, postulates, and theorems. Inductive reasoning is the method of drawing conclusions from a limited set of observations. Proof is a justification that is logically valid and based on initial assumptions, definitions, postulates, and theorems. Logical arguments consist of a set of premises or hypotheses and a conclusion. Euclidean geometry is an axiomatic system based on undefined terms (point, line and plane), postulates, and theorems. When a conditional and its converse are true, the statements can be written as a biconditional, i.e., iff or if and only if. Logical arguments that are valid may not be true. Truth and validity are not synonymous. Identify the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of a conditional statement. Translate verbal arguments into symbolic form, such as q) and (~p ~q). Determine the validity of a logical argument. Use valid forms of deductive reasoning, including the law of syllogism, the law of the contrapositive, the law of detachment, and counterexamples. Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof, as appropriate. (p Use Venn diagrams to represent set relationships, such as intersection and union. Interpret Venn diagrams.

Use algebraic and coordinate methods as well as deductive proofs to verify whether two lines are parallel. Solve problems by using the relationships between pairs of angles formed by the intersection of two parallel lines and a transversal including corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and same-side (consecutive) interior angles.

Transformations and combinations of transformations can be used to describe movement of objects in a plane. The distance formula is an application of the Pythagorean Theorem. Geometric figures can be represented in the coordinate plane. Techniques for investigating symmetry may include paper folding, coordinate methods, and dynamic geometry software. Parallel lines have the same slope. The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

In a triangle, the length of two sides and the included angle determine the length of the side opposite the angle. In order for a triangle to exist, the length of each side must be within a range that is determined by the lengths of the other two sides.

Some practical problems can be solved by choosing an efficient representation of the problem. 1 Another formula for the area of a triangle is A absin C. 2 The ratios of side lengths in similar right triangles (adjacent/hypotenuse or opposite/hypotenuse) are independent of the scale factor and depend only on the angle the hypotenuse makes with the adjacent side, thus justifying the definition and calculation of trigonometric functions using the ratios of side lengths for similar right triangles.
