Notes & FAQs
Geometry is a way to understand the real world around us by basing arguments on concrete referents, modeling relationships, and applying mathematical principles to understand geometric properties and concepts using objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is different about this unit compared to the rest of the year?
Most of the geometry course lives in Claims 2, 3 & 4: Problem Solving,Communicating Reasoning, and Modeling &Data Analysis, especially Claim 3 - Communicating Reasoning. This unit marks the first and only time a geometry cluster is included in Claim 1 as a target; whereas in other courses, standard clusters are almost always synonymous with SBAC targets. Therefore, in addition to engaging heavily with Claim 2 in this unit (Claim 3 too as depth, time permitting), Target O from Claim 1 sheds light on both the topics of instruction and the level of rigor required.
How should this unit be sequenced?
While sequencing may vary, this is the only unit with a Claim 1 Target for SBAC; therefore, emphasis on G-SRT.6-8 might precede the additional California standard of G-SRT.8.1.
