VISION STATEMENT

True success comes from co-accountability and co-responsibility. In a coherentinstructional system, everyone is responsible for student learning and studentachievement. The question we need to constantly ask ourselves is, "How are ourstudents doing?"

The starting point for an accountability system is a set of standards andbenchmarks for student achievement. Standards work best when they are welldefined and clearly communicated to students, teachers, administrators, andparents. The focus of a standards-based education system is to provide commongoals and a shared vision of what it means to be educated. The purposes of aperiodic assessment system are to diagnose student learning needs, guideinstruction and align professional development at all levels of the system.

The primary purpose of this Instructional Guide is to provide teachers andadministrators with a tool for determining what to teach and assess. Morespecifically, the Instructional Guide provides a "road map" and timeline forteaching and assessing the Common Core Learning Standards.

I ask for your support in ensuring that this tool is utilized so students are able tobenefit from a standards-based system where curriculum, instruction, andassessment are aligned. In this system, curriculum, instruction, and assessment aretightly interwoven to support student learning and ensure ALL students have equalaccess to a rigorous curriculum.

We must all accept responsibility for closing the achievement gap and improvingstudent achievement for all of our students.

Administrator for Mathematics and Science (K-12)

PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

The Mount Vernon City School District recognizes that the understanding of mathematics is

necessary for students to compete in today’s technological society. A developmentally

appropriate mathematics curriculum will incorporate a strong conceptual knowledge of

mathematics through the use of concrete experiences. To assist students in the understanding and

application of mathematical concepts, the mathematics curriculum will provide learning

experiences which promote communication, reasoning, and problem solving skills. Students will

be better able to develop an understanding for the power of mathematics in our world today.

Students will only become successful in mathematics if they see mathematics as a whole, not as

isolated skills and facts. As we develop mathematics curriculum based upon the standards,

attention must be given to both content and process strands. Likewise, as teachers develop their

instructional plans and their assessment techniques, they also must give attention to the

integration of process and content. To do otherwise would produce students who have temporary

knowledge and who are unable to apply mathematics in realistic settings. Curriculum,

instruction, and assessment are intricately related and must be designed with this in mind. All

three domains must address conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem solving.

If this is accomplished, school districts will produce students who will

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

4. Model with mathematics.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

6. Attend to precision.

7. Look for and make use of structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Mathematics

Mathematics - High School Geometry: Introduction

An understanding of the attributes and relationships of geometric objects can be applied indiverse contexts—interpreting a schematic drawing, estimating the amount of wood needed toframe a sloping roof, rendering computer graphics, or designing a sewing pattern for the mostefficient use of material.

Although there are many types of geometry, school mathematics is devoted primarily to planeEuclidean geometry, studied both synthetically (without coordinates) and analytically (withcoordinates). Euclidean geometry is characterized most importantly by the Parallel Postulate,that through a point not on a given line there is exactly one parallel line. (Spherical geometry, incontrast, has no parallel lines.)

During high school, students begin to formalize their geometry experiences from elementary andmiddle school, using more precise definitions and developing careful proofs. Later in collegesome students develop Euclidean and other geometries carefully from a small set of axioms.

The concepts of congruence, similarity, and symmetry can be understood from the perspective ofgeometric transformation. Fundamental are the rigid motions: translations, rotations, reflections,and combinations of these, all of which are here assumed to preserve distance and angles (andtherefore shapes generally). Reflections and rotations each explain a particular type of symmetry,and the symmetries of an object offer insight into its attributes—as when the reflective symmetryof an isosceles triangle assures that its base angles are congruent.

In the approach taken here, two geometric figures are defined to be congruent if there is asequence of rigid motions that carries one onto the other. This is the principle of superposition.For triangles, congruence means the equality of all corresponding pairs of sides and allcorresponding pairs of angles. During the middle grades, through experiences drawing trianglesfrom given conditions, students notice ways to specify enough measures in a triangle to ensurethat all triangles drawn with those measures are congruent. Once these triangle congruencecriteria (ASA, SAS, and SSS) are established using rigid motions, they can be used to provetheorems about triangles, quadrilaterals, and other geometric figures.

Similarity transformations (rigid motions followed by dilations) define similarity in the sameway that rigid motions define congruence, thereby formalizing the similarity ideas of "sameshape" and "scale factor" developed in the middle grades. These transformations lead to thecriterion for triangle similarity that two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

The definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent for acute angles are founded on right triangles andsimilarity, and, with the Pythagorean Theorem, are fundamental in many real-world andtheoretical situations. The Pythagorean Theorem is generalized to non-right triangles by the Lawof Cosines. Together, the Laws of Sines and Cosines embody the triangle congruence criteria for

the cases where three pieces of information suffice to completely solve a triangle. Furthermore,these laws yield two possible solutions in the ambiguous case, illustrating that Side-Side-Angleis not a congruence criterion.

Analytic geometry connects algebra and geometry, resulting in powerful methods of analysis andproblem solving. Just as the number line associates numbers with locations in one dimension, apair of perpendicular axes associates pairs of numbers with locations in two dimensions. Thiscorrespondence between numerical coordinates and geometric points allows methods fromalgebra to be applied to geometry and vice versa. The solution set of an equation becomes ageometric curve, making visualization a tool for doing and understanding algebra. Geometricshapes can be described by equations, making algebraic manipulation into a tool for geometricunderstanding, odeling, and proof. Geometric transformations of the graphs of equationscorrespond to algebraic changes in their equations.

Dynamic geometry environments provide students with experimental and modeling tools thatallow them to investigate geometric phenomena in much the same way as computer algebrasystems allow them to experiment with algebraic phenomena.

Connections to Equations.

The correspondence between numerical coordinates and geometric points allows methods fromalgebra to be applied to geometry and vice versa. The solution set of an equation becomes ageometric curve, making visualization a tool for doing and understanding algebra. Geometricshapes can be described by equations, making algebraic manipulation into a tool for geometricunderstanding, modeling, and proof.

Experiment with transformations in the plane1. Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the

undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.2. Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe

transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Comparetransformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).

3. Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carryit onto itself.

4. Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines,parallel lines, and line segments.

Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions6. Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion

on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if theyare congruent.

7. Use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles are congruent if and onlyif corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.

8. Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (ASA, SAS, and SSS) follow from the definition of congruencein terms of rigid motions.

Prove geometric theorems9. Prove theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include: vertical angles are congruent; when a transversal

crosses parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent; pointson a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are exactly those equidistant from the segment’s endpoints.

10. Prove theorems about triangles. Theorems include: measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°; baseangles of isosceles triangles are congruent; the segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallelto the third side and half the length; the medians of a triangle meet at a point.

11. Prove theorems about parallelograms. Theorems include: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles arecongruent, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, and conversely, rectangles are parallelogramswith congruent diagonals.

reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle;bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisectorof a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

13. Construct an equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.

Similarity, Right Triangles, & Trigonometry G-SRT

Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations1. Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor:

a. A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a linepassing through the center unchanged.

b. The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor.2. Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if they are

similar; explain using similarity transformations the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of allcorresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.

3. Use the properties of similarity transformations to establish the AA criterion for two triangles to be similar.

Understand and apply theorems about circles1. Prove that all circles are similar.2. Identify and describe relationships among inscribed angles, radii, and chords. Include the relationship between

central, inscribed, and circumscribed angles; inscribed angles on a diameter are right angles; the radius of acircle is perpendicular to the tangent where the radius intersects the circle.

3. Construct the inscribed and circumscribed circles of a triangle, and prove properties of angles for a quadrilateralinscribed in a circle.

4. (+) Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

Module 1 embodies critical changes in Geometry as outlined by the Common Core. The heart of the module is the study oftransformations and the role transformations play in defining congruence. In previous grades, students were asked to draw trianglesbased on given measurements. They also have prior experience with rigid motions—translations, reflections, and rotations—and havestrategically applied a rigid motion to informally show that two triangles are congruent. In this module, students establish trianglecongruence criteria, based on analyses of rigid motions and formal constructions. They build upon this familiar foundation of trianglecongruence to develop formal proof techniques. Students make conjectures and construct viable arguments to prove theorems—usinga variety of formats—and solve problems about triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons. They construct figures by manipulatingappropriate geometric tools (compass, ruler, protractor, etc.) and justify why their written instructions produce the desired figure.

Just as rigid motions are used to define congruence in Module 1, so dilations are added to define similarity in Module 2. To be ableto define similarity, there must be a definition of similarity transformations and consequently a definition for dilations. Students areintroduced to the progression of terms beginning with scale drawings, which they first study in Grade 7 (Module 1, Topic D), but in amore observational capacity than in Grade 10: Students determine the scale factor between a figure and a scale drawing or predict thelengths of a scale drawing, provided a figure and a scale factor.

Students apply their earlier experience with dilations and proportional reasoning to build a formal understanding of similarity. Theyidentify criteria for similarity of triangles, make sense of and persevere in solving similarity problems, and apply similarity to righttriangles to prove the Pythagorean Theorem. Students attend to precision in showing that trigonometric ratios are well defined, andapply trigonometric ratios to find missing measures of general (not necessarily right) triangles. Students model and make sense out ofindirect measurement problems and geometry problems that involve ratios or rates.

Module 3, Extending to Three Dimensions, builds on students’ understanding of congruence in Module 1 and similarity in Module 2to prove volume formulas for solids. Students’ experience with two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects is extended to includeinformal explanations of circumference, area and volume formulas. Additionally, students apply their knowledge of two-dimensionalshapes to consider the shapes of cross-sections and the result of rotating a two-dimensional object about a line. They reason abstractlyand quantitatively to model problems using volume formulas.

4Connecting Algebra and Geometry

through CoordinatesG-SRT.A.1, G-SRT.B.4, G-SRT.C.6,

G-SRT.C.7 G-SRT.C.827 Mar. 14 – Apr. 26

Building on their work with the Pythagorean Theorem in 8th grade to find distances, students analyze geometric relationships in thecontext of a rectangular coordinate system, including properties of special triangles and quadrilaterals and slopes of parallel andperpendicular lines, relating back to work done in the first module. Students attend to precision as they connect the geometric andalgebraic definitions of parabola. They solve design problems by representing figures in the coordinate plane, and in doing so, theyleverage their knowledge from synthetic geometry by combining it with the solving power of algebra inherent in analytic geometry.

In this module, students explore and experience the utility of analyzing algebra and geometry challenges through the framework ofcoordinates. The module opens with a modeling challenge (G-MG.A.1, G-MG.A.3), one that reoccurs throughout the lessons, to usecoordinate geometry to program the motion of a robot that is bound within a certain polygonal region of the plane—the room in whichit sits. To set the stage for complex work in analytic geometry (computing coordinates of points of intersection of lines and linesegments or the coordinates of points that divide given segments in specific length ratios, and so on), students will describe the regionvia systems of algebraic inequalities (A-REI.D.12) and work to constrain the robot motion along line segments within the region (A-REI.C.6, G-GPE.B.7).

GPE.B.4,28 Apr. 28 – June 7

This module’s focus is on the possible geometric relationships between a pair of intersecting lines and a circle drawn on the page. Ifthe lines are perpendicular and one passes through the center of the circle, then the relationship encompasses the perpendicularbisectors of chords in a circle and the association between a tangent line and a radius drawn to the point of contact. If the lines meet ata point on the circle, then the relationship involves inscribed angles. If the lines meet at the center of the circle, then the relationshipinvolves central angles. If the lines meet at a different point inside the circle or at a point outside the circle, then the relationshipincludes the secant angle theorems and tangent angle theorems.

Topic A, through a hands-on activity, leads students first to Thales’ theorem (an angle drawn from a diameter of a circle to a point onthe circle is sure to be a right angle), then to possible converses of Thales’ theorem, and finally to the general inscribed-central angletheorem. Students use this result to solve unknown angle problems. Through this work, students construct triangles and rectanglesinscribed in circles and study their properties (G-C.A.2, G-C.A.3).

Topic B defines the measure of an arc and establishes results relating chord lengths and the measures of the arcs they subtend.Students build on their knowledge of circles from Module 2 and prove that all circles are similar. Students develop a formula for arclength in addition to a formula for the area of a sector and practice their skills solving unknown area problems (G-C.A.1, G-C.A.2, G-C.B.5).

In Topic C, students explore geometric relations in diagrams of two secant lines, or a secant and tangent line (possibly even twotangent lines), meeting a point inside or outside of a circle. They establish the secant angle theorems and tangent-secant angletheorems. By drawing auxiliary lines, students also notice similar triangles and thereby discover relationships between lengths of linesegments appearing in these diagrams (G-C.A.2, G-C.A.3, G-C.A.4).Topic D brings in coordinate geometry to establish the equation of a circle. Students solve problems to find the equations of specifictangent lines or the coordinates of specific points of contact. They also express circles via analytic equations (G-GPE.A.1, G-GPE.B.4).

The module concludes with Topic E focusing on the properties of quadrilaterals inscribed in circles and establishing Ptolemy’stheorem. This result codifies the Pythagorean theorem, curious facts about triangles, properties of the regular pentagon, andtrigonometric relationships. It serves as a final unifying flourish for students’ year-long study of geometry (G-C.A.3).

SYSTEMATIC DESIGN OF A MATHEMATICS LESSON

What are the components of a Mathematics Block?

ComponentFluency Practice Information processing theory supports the view that automaticity in math facts is

fundamental to success in many areas of higher mathematics. Without the ability to retrievefacts directly or automatically, students are likely to experience a high cognitive load as theyperform a range of complex tasks. The added processing demands resulting from inefficientmethods such as counting (vs. direct retrieval) often lead to declarative and procedural errors.Accurate and efficient retrieval of basic math facts is critical to a student’s success inmathematics.

Opening Exercise - Whole Group This can be considered the motivation or Do Now of the lesson It should set the stage for the day's lesson Introduction of a new concept, built on prior knowledge Open-ended problemsConceptual Development - Whole Group (Teacher Directed, Student Centered) Inform students of what they are going to do. Refer to Objectives. Refer to the Key Words

(Word Wall) Define the expectations for the work to be done Provide various demonstrations using modeling and multiple representations (i.e. model a

strategy and your thinking for problem solving, model how to use a ruler to measure items,model how to use inch graph paper to find the perimeter of a polygon,)

Relate to previous work Provide logical sequence and clear explanations Provide medial summaryApplication Problems - Cooperative Groups, Pairs, Individuals, (Student Interaction &Engagement, Teacher Facilitated) Students try out the skill or concept learned in the conceptual development Teachers circulate the room, conferences with the students and assesses student work (i.e.

teacher asks questions to raise the level of student thinking) Students construct knowledge around the key idea or content standard through the use of

problem solving strategies, manipulatives, accountable/quality talk, writing, modeling,technology applied learning

Student Debrief - Whole Group (Teacher Directed, Student Centered) Students discuss their work and explain their thinking Teacher asks questions to help students draw conclusions and make references Determine if objective(s) were achieved Students summarize what was learned Allow students to reflect, share (i.e. read from journal)Homework/Enrichment - Whole Group (Teacher Directed, Student Centered) Homework is a follow-up to the lesson which may involve skill practice, problem solving

and writing

30

Homework, projects or enrichment activities should be assigned on a daily basis. SPIRALLING OF HOMEWORK - Teacher will also assign problems / questions pertaining to

lessons taught in the past

Remember: Assessments are on-going based on students’ responses.Assessment: Independent Practice (It is on-going! Provide formal assessment whennecessary / appropriate) Always write, use and allow students to generate Effective Questions for optimal learning Based on assessment(s), Re-teach the skill, concept or content using alternative strategies

and approaches

Important Notice

All lessons must be numbered with corresponding homework. For example, lesson #1 will

corresponded to homework #1 and so on.

Writing assignments at the end of the lesson (closure) bring great benefits. Not only do they

enhance students' general writing ability, but they also increase both the understanding of

content while learning the specific vocabulary of the disciplines.

Spiraling Homework

o Homework is used to reinforce daily learning objectives. The secondary purpose of

homework is to reinforce objectives learned earlier in the year. The assessments are

cumulative, spiraling homework requires students to review coursework throughout the

year.

Manipulative must be incorporated in all lessons. With students actively involved in

manipulating materials, interest in mathematics will be aroused. Using manipulative

materials in teaching mathematics will help students learn:

a. to relate real world situations to mathematics symbolism.

b. to work together cooperatively in solving problems.

c. to discuss mathematical ideas and concepts.

d. to verbalize their mathematics thinking.

e. to make presentations in front of a large group.

f. that there are many different ways to solve problems.

g. that mathematics problems can be symbolized in many different ways.

that they can solve mathematics problems without just following teachers' directions.
