GeometryOld TEKSCurrent TEKS (2012)(a) Basic understandings.(1) Foundation concepts for high schoolmathematics. As presented in Grades K-8,the basic understandings of number,operation, and quantitative reasoning;patterns, relationships, and algebraicthinking; geometry; measurement; andprobability and statistics are essentialfoundations for all work in high schoolmathematics. Students continue to build onthis foundation as they expand theirunderstanding through other mathematicalexperiences.(b) Introduction.(1) The desire to achieve educationalexcellence is the driving force behind theTexas essential knowledge and skills formathematics, guided by the college andcareer readiness standards. By embeddingstatistics, probability, and finance, whilefocusing on fluency and solidunderstanding, Texas will lead the way inmathematics education and prepare allTexas students for the challenges they willface in the 21st century.(a) Basic understandings.(2) Geometric thinking and spatialreasoning. Spatial reasoning plays a criticalrole in geometry; geometric figures providepowerful ways to represent mathematicalsituations and to express generalizationsabout space and spatial relationships.Students use geometric thinking tounderstand mathematical concepts and therelationships among them.(a) Basic understandings.(3) Geometric figures and their properties.Geometry consists of the study ofgeometric figures of zero, one, two, andthree dimensions and the relationshipsamong them. Students study propertiesand relationships having to do with size,shape, location, direction, and orientationof these figures.(a) Basic understandings.(4) The relationship between geometry,other mathematics, and other disciplines.Geometry can be used to model andrepresent many mathematical and realworld situations. Students perceive theconnection between geometry and the realand mathematical worlds and usegeometric ideas, relationships, andproperties to solve problems.Supporting Information(b) Introduction.(3) In Geometry, students will build on theknowledge and skills for mathematics inKindergarten-Grade 8 and Algebra I tostrengthen their mathematical reasoningskills in geometric contexts. Within thecourse, students will begin to focus onmore precise terminology, symbolicrepresentations, and the development ofproofs. Students will explore conceptscovering coordinate and transformationalgeometry; logical argument andconstructions; proof and congruence;similarity, proof, and trigonometry; twoand three- dimensional figures; circles; andprobability. Students will connect previousknowledge from Algebra I to Geometrythrough the coordinate andtransformational geometry strand. In thelogical arguments and constructions strand,students are expected to create formalconstructions using a straight edge andcompass. Though this course is primarilyEuclidean geometry, students shouldcomplete the course with an understandingthat non-Euclidean geometries exist. Inproof and congruence, students will usedeductive reasoning to justify, prove andapply theorems about geometric figures.Throughout the standards, to “prove”means a formal proof to be shown in aparagraph, a flow chart, or two-columnformats. Proportionality is the unifyingcomponent of the similarity, proof andThe definition of a well-balanced mathematicscurriculum has expanded to include the CCRS.A focus on mathematical fluency and solidunderstanding allows for rich exploration of theprimary focal points.The 2012 paragraph that highlights morespecifics about Geometry mathematics contentfollows the paragraph about the mathematicalprocess standards. This supports the notionthat the TEKS should be learned in a way thatintegrates the mathematical process standardsin an effort to develop fluency.The 2012 paragraph has been updated to alignto the 2012 Geometry mathematics TEKS.The 2012 paragraph summarizes the keyconcepts found in Geometry while makingconnections to prior content and the Collegeand Career Readiness Standards.Content that is deleted by 2012 TEKS – Content that remains or is clarified in 2012 TEKS ( 2014 Texas Education Agency.

GeometryOld TEKS(a) Basic understandings.(5) Tools for geometric thinking.Techniques for working with spatial figuresand their properties are essential inunderstanding underlying relationships.Students use a variety of representations(concrete, pictorial, numerical, symbolic,graphical, and verbal), tools, andtechnology (including, but not limited to,calculators with graphing capabilities, datacollection devices, and computers) to solvemeaningful problems by representing andtransforming figures and analyzingrelationships.(a) Basic understandings.(6) Underlying mathematical processes.Many processes underlie all content areasin mathematics. As they do mathematics,students continually use problem-solving,language and communication, connectionswithin and outside mathematics, andreasoning (justification and proof).Students also use multiple representations,technology, applications and modeling, andnumerical fluency in problem solvingcontexts.Current TEKS (2012)Supporting Informationtrigonometry strand. Students will use theirproportional reasoning skills to prove andapply theorems and solve problems in thisstrand. The two- and three-dimensionalfigure strand focuses on the application offormulas in multi-step situations sincestudents have developed backgroundknowledge in two-and three-dimensionalfigures. Using patterns to identifygeometric properties, students will applytheorems about circles to determinerelationships between special segments andangles in circles. Due to the emphasis ofprobability and statistics in the college andcareer readiness standards, standardsdealing with probability have been added tothe geometry curriculum to ensurestudents have proper exposure to thesetopics before pursuing their post-secondaryeducation.(b) Introduction.(2) The process standards describe ways inwhich students are expected to engage inthe content. The placement of the processstandards at the beginning of theknowledge and skills listed for each gradeand course is intentional. The processstandards weave the other knowledge andskills together so that students may besuccessful problem solvers and usemathematics efficiently and effectively indaily life. The process standards areintegrated at every grade level and course.When possible, students will applymathematics to problems arising ineveryday life, society, and the workplace.Students will use a problem-solving modelthat incorporates analyzing giveninformation, formulating a plan or strategy,determining a solution, justifying thesolution, and evaluating the problemsolving process and the reasonableness ofthe solution. Students will selectappropriate tools such as real objects,manipulatives, paper and pencil, andtechnology and techniques such as mentalmath, estimation, and number sense tosolve problems. Students will effectivelycommunicate mathematical ideas,reasoning, and their implications usingmultiple representations such as symbols,diagrams, graphs, and language. Studentswill use mathematical relationships togenerate solutions and make connectionsand predictions. Students will analyzemathematical relationships to connect andThis 2012 paragraph occurs second in theRevised TEKS (2012) instead of sixth as in thecurrent TEKS.
