Section CXXIX-709 - Benchmark 4-Geometry

A. Adult learners use geometric properties, relationships, and methods to identify, analyze and solve real-life problems.

1. Identify basic geometric shapes.

2. Describe basic geometric shapes by naming, building, drawing, comparing, and sorting two and three-dimensional shapes, i.e.,:

a. cube;

b. cylinder;

c. prism;

d. square;

e. rhombus;

f. hexagon;

g. sphere.

3. Graph ordered pairs on rectangular coordinate plane.

4. Classify angles as right, acute, obtuse, straight, or reflex.

5. Describe geometric figures, e.g.,:

a. symmetric;

b. perpendicular;

c. parallel.

6. Compare geometric figures using similarity or congruency.

7. Solve problems involving alternate interior, corresponding, complementary, or supplementary angles.

8. Classify triangles by their angles and sides as:

a. equilateral;

b. isosceles;

c. scalene;

d. acute;

e. obtuse; and

f. right.

9. Label and identify the characteristics, (i.e., radius, diameter, base, height) of a:

a. circle;

b. cylinder;

c. parallelogram;

d. pentagon;

e. hexagon;

f. octagon;

g. decagon;

h. rhombus;

i. trapezoid;

j. cube;

k. sphere; or

l. prism.

10. Use the appropriate geometric formula (i.e., area, perimeter, volume, Pythagorean relationship, distance between two points in a plane) to solve problems.

11. Solve problems using similarity and proportion.
