Geometry in the australian curriculum
Geometry in the Australian Curriculum encompasses 3 separate content descriptors. These are shown below. During our geometry studies we will be working through all of these descriptors.
SHAPE
Draw different views of prisms and solids formed from combinations of prisms (ACMMG161)
LOCATION AND TRANSFORMATION
Describe translations, reflections in an axis, and rotations of multiples of 90° on the Cartesian plane using coordinates. Identify line and rotational symmetries (ACMMG181)
GEOMETRIC REASONING
Identify corresponding, alternate and co-interior angles when two straight lines are crossed by a transversal (ACMMG163)
Investigate conditions for two lines to be parallel and solve simple numerical problems using reasoning (ACMMG164)
Demonstrate that the angle sum of a triangle is 180° and use this to find the angle sum of a quadrilateral (ACMMG166)
Classify triangles according to their side and angle properties and describe quadrilaterals (ACMMG165)
