Unit: Coordinate Geometry
Stage 1: Desired Results
NJCCCS, 2009 Established Goals
Standard: 4.2 Geometry and Measurement: All students will develop spatial sense and the ability to use
geometric properties, relationships, and measurements to model, describe, and analyze phenomena.
4.2.12.A.11 – Use coordinate geometry to find slopes, parallel lines, perpendicular lines and equations of lines.
4.2.12.B.1 – Find the lengths and midpoints of line segments in one- or two-dimensional coordinate systems.
Standard: 4.5 Core Mathematical Processes: All students will use the mathematical processes of problem
solving, communication, connections, reasoning, representations and technology to gain deeper understanding
of mathematical concepts, problem solving and how to communicate mathematical ideas.
4.5.12.1 – Analyze a problem situation and represent it mathematically.
4.5.12.2 – Select and apply strategies to solve problems.
4.5.12.3 – Evaluate a solution for reasonableness, verify its accuracy and interpret the solution in the context of
the original problem.
4.5.12.4 – Generalize a solution strategy for a single problem to a class of related problems and apply a strategy
for a class of related problems to solve specific problems.
4.5.12.5 – Read and interpret diagrams, graphs, and text containing the symbols, language and conventions of
mathematics.
4.5.12.6 – Communicate mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers, teachers, and others, both orally
and in writing.
4.5.12.7 – Synthesize information to draw conclusions, and evaluate the arguments and conclusions of others.
4.5.12.8 – Use inductive reasoning to make conjectures and use deductive reasoning to prove or disprove
conjectures.
4.5.12.9 – Use technology to gather, analyze, and communicate mathematical information.
