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


Remarks


Geometry - Fluency Recommendations

Fluency with the use of coordinates to establish geometric results, calculate length and angle, and use geometric representations as a modeling tool are some of the most valuable tools in mathematics and related fields.

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Lesson Plans

Name Description
My Geometry Classroom

Students will learn how to find the area and perimeter of multiple polygons in the coordinate plane using the composition and decomposition methods, applying the Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem. Students will complete a Geometry Classroom Floor Plan group activity. Students will do a short presentation to discuss their results which leads to the realization that polygons with the same perimeter can have different areas. Students will also complete an independent practice and submit an exit ticket at the end of the lesson.

Just Plane Ol' Area!

Students will construct various figures on coordinate planes and calculate the perimeter and area. Use of the Pythagorean theorem will be required.

Going the Distance

This lesson uses the Pythagorean Theorem to derive several iterations of the Distance Formula. The Distance Formula is then used to calculate the distance between two points on both directional maps and the Cartesian coordinate plane. Vocabulary relating to vectors is also introduced.
