MA19.GDA Geometry with Data Analysis

MA19.GDA.NQ Number and Quantity

MA19.GDA.NQ.A

Together, irrational numbers and rational numbers complete the real number system, representing all points on the number line, while there exist numbers beyond the real numbers called complex numbers.

MA19.GDA.NQ.B

Quantitative reasoning includes and mathematical modeling requires attention to units of measurement.

MA19.GDA.AF Algebra and Functions

MA19.GDA.AF.1 Focus 1: Algebra

MA19.GDA.AF.1.A

The structure of an equation or inequality (including, but not limited to, one-variable linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, and systems of linear equations in two variables) can be purposefully analyzed (with and without technology) to determine an efficient strategy to find a solution, if one exists, and then to justify the solution.

MA19.GDA.AF.1.B

Expressions, equations, and inequalities can be used to analyze and make predictions, both within mathematics and as mathematics is applied in different contexts - in particular, contexts that arise in relation to linear, quadratic, and exponential situations.

MA19.GDA.AF.2,Focus 2: Connecting Algebra to Functions

MA19.GDA.AF.2.A

Graphs can be used to obtain exact or approximate solutions of equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and inequalities--including systems of linear equations in two variables and systems of linear and quadratic equations (given or obtained by using technology).

MA19.GDA.DA Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability

MA19.GDA.DA.1,Focus 1: Quantitative Literacy

MA19.GDA.DA.1.A

Mathematical and statistical reasoning about data can be used to evaluate conclusions and assess risks.

MA19.GDA.DA.2 Focus 2: Visualizing and Summarizing Data

MA19.GDA.DA.2.A

Data arise from a context and come in two types: quantitative (continuous or discrete) and categorical. Technology can be used to ""clean"" and organize data, including very large data sets, into a useful and manageable structure -- a first step in any analysis of data

MA19.GDA.DA.2.B

Distributions of quantitative data (continuous or discrete) in one variable should be described in the context of the data with respect to what is typical (the shape, with appropriate measures of center and variability, including standard deviation) and what is not (outliers), and these characteristics can be used to compare two or more subgroups with respect to a variable.

MA19.GDA.DA.2.C

Scatter plots, including plots over time, can reveal patterns, trends, clusters, and gaps that are useful in analyzing the association between two contextual variables.

MA19.GDA.DA.2.D

Analyzing the association between two quantitative variables should involve statistical procedures, such as examining (with technology) the sum of squared deviations in fitting a linear model, analyzing residuals for patterns, generating a least-squares regression line and finding a correlation coefficient, and differentiating between correlation and causation.

MA19.GDA.DA.2.E

Data analysis techniques can be used to develop models of contextual situations and to generate and evaluate possible solutions to real problems involving those contexts.

MA19.GDA.GM Geometry and Measurement

MA19.GDA.GM.1 Focus 1: Measurement

MA19.GDA.GM.1.A

Areas and volumes of figures can be computed by determining how the figure might be obtained from simpler figures by dissection and recombination.

MA19.GDA.GM.1.B

Constructing approximations of measurements with different tools, including technology, can support an understanding of measurement.

MA19.GDA.GM.1.C

When an object is the image of a known object under a similarity transformation, a length, area, or volume on the image can be computed by using proportional relationships.

MA19.GDA.GM.2 Focus 2: Transformations

MA19.GDA.GM.2.A

Applying geometric transformations to figures provides opportunities for describing the attributes of the figures preserved by the transformation and for describing symmetries by examining when a figure can be mapped onto itself.

MA19.GDA.GM.2.B

Showing that two figures are congruent involves showing that there is a rigid motion (translation, rotation, reflection, or glide reflection) or, equivalently, a sequence of rigid motions that maps one figure to the other.

MA19.GDA.GM.2.C

Showing that two figures are similar involves finding a similarity transformation (dilation or composite of a dilation with a rigid motion) or, equivalently, a sequence of similarity transformations that maps one figure onto the other.

MA19.GDA.GM.3 Focus 3: Geometric Arguments, Reasoning, and Proof

MA19.GDA.GM.3.A

Using technology to construct and explore figures with constraints provides an opportunity to explore the independence and dependence of assumptions and conjectures.

MA19.GDA.GM.3.B

Proof is the means by which we demonstrate whether a statement is true or false mathematically, and proofs can be communicated in a variety of ways (e.g., two-column, paragraph).

MA19.GDA.GM.3.C

Proofs of theorems can sometimes be made with transformations, coordinates, or algebra; all approaches can be useful, and in some cases one may provide a more accessible or understandable argument than another.

MA19.GDA.GM.4,Focus 4: Solving Applied Problems and Modeling in Geometry

MA19.GDA.GM.4.A

Recognizing congruence, similarity, symmetry, measurement opportunities, and other geometric ideas, including right triangle trigonometry, in real-world contexts provides a means of building understanding of these concepts and is a powerful tool for solving problems related to the physical world in which we live.

MA19.GDA.GM.4.B

Experiencing the mathematical modeling cycle in problems involving geometric concepts, from the simplification of the real problem through the solving of the simplified problem, the interpretation of its solution, and the checking of the solution's feasibility, introduces geometric techniques, tools, and points of view that are valuable to problem-solving.
