Adult Goal 11: Learners will use geometry skills.

OBJECTIVES EXAMPLES
Objective A: Learners will apply geometric properties and relationships.
  • Recognize and define terms which apply to point, line, line segment, vector, angle, tangent.
  • Recognize and define terms which apply to figures, angles, polygons, circles.
  • Classify figures in terms of congruence and similarity.
  • Deduce properties of, and relationships between, figures from given assumptions.
Objective B: Learners will use coordinate representation to illustrate linear equations.
  • Recognize and define terminology of coordinate geometry: slope, axis, coordinate pairs, intercept, figures, limit, quadrant, etc.
  • Recognize the values of coordinates in the four quadrants.
Objective C: Learners will translate between the algebraic and coordinate representations.
  • Plot solution set for given algebraic equations.
  • Identify/create algebraic expressions given graphic representations.
  • Solve problems using coordinate representation and vectors (elective for students with specialized career goals).
  • Identify real-life situations in terms of graphic representation.
Objective D: Learners will use the special properties of triangles to solve real-life problems.
  • Define terms related to triangles -- classification, names of angles, internal and external angles.
  • Use special relation of sides of right triangles for problem solving: Pythagorean Theorem, Sine, Cosine, Tangent relations.
  • Recognize similar triangles and their importance.
