Geometry

Stage 1 Desired Results

Make a Blue Print of the Gym Basketball Court

Established Goals:
6.G.1. Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and
polygons by composing or decomposing into other polygons.
Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical
problems.
6.G.5. Identify, compare or describe attributes and properties of circles (radius, and
diameter).
7.G.1 Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including
computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale
drawing at a different scale.
7.G.4. Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them
to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the
circumference and area of a circle.
