Scope & Sequence G10

This document outlines the Mathematics Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools in February 2009. It provides standards and benchmarks for geometry, including properties of geometric figures, trigonometric relationships, justification of conclusions, and the use of geometric models to solve problems. Standards are described for right triangles using the Pythagorean theorem, special right triangles, trigonometry, similarity, polygons, angles, circles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants. Technology tools should be used to assist in teaching and learning geometry.

Mathematics Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools – February 2009

andGeometry
This course is designed for students who have successfully completed the standards for Algebra I. All
students are expected to achieve the Geometry standards. The course includes, among other things,
properties of geometric figures, trigonometric relationships, and reasoning to justify conclusions.
Methods of justification will include paragraph proofs, two-column proofs, indirect proofs, coordinate
proofs, algebraic methods, and verbal arguments. A gradual development of formal proof will be
encouraged. Inductive and intuitive approaches to proof as well as deductive axiomatic methods should
be used.
This set of standards includes emphasis on two- and three-dimensional reasoning skills, coordinate and
transformational geometry, and the use of geometric models to solve problems. A variety of applications
and some general problem-solving techniques, including algebraic skills, should be used to implement
these standards. Calculators, computers, graphing utilities (graphing calculators or computer graphing
simulators), dynamic geometry software, and other appropriate technology tools will be used to assist in
teaching and learning. Any technology that will enhance student learning should be used.
