‣ Be mathematical problem solvers.
‣ Reason and construct mathematical arguments.
‣ Communicate mathematically.
‣ See connections both within mathematics and to other subject areas.
‣ Look for and make use of structure and patterns.
See God’s orderliness and mystery reflected in mathematics
‣ Use mathematics to organize and understand in a finite way the vastness and
mystery of God and His creation.
Geometry Skills—
Algebra
‣ Express geometric properties using equations, which include midpoints,
distance and coordinate geometry topics.
Geometry
‣ Develop and prove theorems about congruence and similarity of triangles
and polygons, including theorems about lines, parallel lines, angle bisectors,
etc., through transformational geometry.
‣ Solve right triangle problems using sine, cosine, tangent, and the Pythagorean
Theorem.
‣ Identify and describe relationships among parts of a circle, such as central and
inscribed angles, radii, chords, arcs, and sectors.
‣ Apply formulas and solve problems involving volume and surface area of right
prisms, right circular cylinders, right pyramids, cones, spheres, and composite.
