| PH Chapter 1 SOL G.3a - Investigate and use formulas for finding distance and midpoint. SOL G.4 - Construct and justify the constructions of a) a line segment congruent to a given line segment; b) the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; e) the bisector of a given angle; and f) an angle congruent to a given angle. |
PH Chapter 5 SOL G.5 - Given information concerning the lengths of sides and/or measures of angles in triangles, will a) order the sides by length, given the angle measures; b) order the angles by degree measure, given the side lengths; c) determine whether a triangle exists; and d) determine the range in which the length of the third side must lie. These concepts will be considered in the context of real-world situations. |
PH Chapter 9 SOL G.3 - Use pictorial representations, including computer software, constructions, and coordinate methods, to solve problems involving symmetry and transformation. This will include c) investigating symmetry and determining whether a figure is symmetric with respect to a line or a point; and d) determining whether a figure has been translated, reflected, rotated, or dilated, using coordinate methods. SOL G.10 - Solve real-world problems involving angles of polygons. From the VDOE Curriculum Framework: Identify tessellations in art, construction, and nature. |
| PH Chapter 2 (Add: PH Lesson VA-1) SOL G.1 - 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. |
PH Chapter 6 SOL G.2 - Use the relationship between angles formed by two lines cut by a transversal to b) verify the parallelism, using coordinate methods. SOL G.9 - Verify characteristics of quadrilaterals and use properties of quadrilaterals to solve real-world problems. Note: The properties of angles for a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle will be addressed in Lesson 12-3. SOL G.10 - Solve real-world problems involving angles of polygons. |
PH Chapter 10 SOL G.11 - Use angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants to b) solve real-world problems involving properties of circles; and c) find arc lengths and areas of sectors in circles. SOL G.14 - Use similar geometric objects in two dimensions to a) compare ratios between side lengths, perimeters, and areas; c) determine how changes in area of an object affect one or more dimensions of the object; and d) solve real-world problems about similar geometric objects. |
| PH Chapter 3 (Add: PH Lesson VA-3) SOL G.2 - Use the relationship between angles formed by two lines cut by a transversal to a) determine whether two lines are parallel; b) verify the parallelism, using algebraic and coordinate methods as well as deductive proofs; and c) solve real-world problems involving angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal. SOL G.3 - Use pictorial representations, including computer software, constructions, and coordinate methods, to solve problems involving symmetry and transformation. This will include a) investigating and using formulas for finding slope; and b) applying slope to verify and determine whether lines are parallel or perpendicular. SOL G.4 - Construct and justify the constructions of c) a perpendicular to a given line from a point not on the line; d) a perpendicular to a given line at a given point on the line; and g) a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the given line. |
PH Chapter 7 SOL G.7 - Given information in the form of a figure or statement, will prove two triangles are similar, using algebraic and coordinate methods as well as deductive proofs. SOL G.14 - Use similar geometric objects in two dimensions to d) solve real-world problems about similar geometric objects. |
PH Chapter 11 SOL G.13 - Use formulas for surface area and volume of three-dimensional objects to solve real-world problems. SOL G.14 - Use similar geometric objects in two dimensions to a) compare ratios between side lengths, perimeters, areas, and volumes; b) determine how changes in one or more dimensions of an object affect area and/or volume of the object; c) determine how changes in area and/or volume of an object affect one or more dimensions of the object; and d) solve real-world problems about similar geometric objects. |
| PH Chapter 4 SOL G.6 - Given information in the form of a figure or statement, will prove two triangles are congruent, using algebraic and coordinate methods as well as deductive proofs. |
PH Chapter 8 SOL G.8 - Solve real-world problems involving right triangles by using the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, properties of special right triangles, and right triangle trigonometry. |
PH Chapter 12 SOL G.11 - Use angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants to a) investigate, verify, and apply properties of circles; and b) solve real-world problems involving properties of circles. SOL G.12 - Given the coordinates of the center of a circle and appoint on the circle, will write the equation of a circle.
