Grade 7 - Geometry and Spatial Sense

Standard 7.GSS.1 - Practice finding complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles.

Included Skills:

Geometric Properties
• construct related lines (i.e., parallel; perpendicular; intersecting at 30�, 45�, and 60�), using angle properties and a variety of tools (e.g., compass and straight edge, protractor, dynamic geometry software) and strategies (e.g., paper folding);
• sort and classify triangles and quadrilaterals by geometric properties related to symmetry, angles, and sides, through investigation using a variety of tools (e.g., geoboard, dynamic geometry software) and strategies (e.g., using charts, using Venn diagrams) (Sample problem: Investigate whether dilatations change the geometric properties of triangles and quadrilaterals.);
• construct angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors, using a variety of tools (e.g., Mira, dynamic geometry software, compass) and strategies (e.g., paper folding), and represent equal angles and equal lengths using mathematical notation;
• investigate, using concrete materials, the angles between the faces of a prism, and identify right prisms (Sample problem: Identify the perpendicular faces in a set of right prisms.).
