Cluster:
Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. [Include distance formula; relate to Pythagorean Theorem.]

Standard:
Prove the slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines and use them to solve geometric problems (e.g., find the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point).

Cluster:
Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. [Include distance formula; relate to Pythagorean Theorem.]

Standard:
Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula. *

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Standard:
Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so.

Cluster:
Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

Standard:
Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.
