Overall Expectations (Directly from The Ontario Curriculum) |
||||
model and solve problems involving the intersection of two straight lines; solve problems using analytic geometry involving properties of lines and line segments; verify geometric properties of triangles and quadrilaterals, using analytic geometry |
||||
Specific Expectations (Directly from The Ontario Curriculum) |
||||
– determine, through investigation (e.g., using dynamic geometry software, by paper folding), some characteristics and properties of geometric figures (e.g., medians in a triangle, similar figures constructed on the sides of a right triangle); 50 THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 9 AND 10: MATHEMATICS – verify, using algebraic techniques and analytic geometry, some characteristics of geometric figures (e.g., verify that two lines are perpendicular, given the coordinates of two points on each line; verify, by determining side length, that a triangle is equilateral, given the coordinates of the vertices); – plan and implement a multi-step strategy that uses analytic geometry and algebraic techniques to verify a geometric property (e.g., given the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle, verify that the line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of the triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length, and check using dynamic geometry software; given the coordinates of the vertices of a rectangle, verify that the diagonals of the rectangle bisect each other). |
