6th Grade CSOPE Performance Indicators 7th Grade CSOPE Performance Indicators

Unit 6 Second Nine WeeksUse a drawing of a triangle or quadrilateral to find each angle measurement and classification. Generate a model (e.g., sketch, computer-generated, etc.) of the drawing, and label the angle measure using measurement notation and the classification (e.g., acute, obtuse, or right) for each angle. Validate each measure by explaining the anglerelationships and problem-solving processes. (6.6A, 6.6B;6.8C; 6.11B, 6.11C, 6.11D; 6.13B)

Sample Performance Indicator:A government surveyor provided the following diagram of the new city park land. Sketch the diagram, and label the angle measure using measurement notation and the classification for each angle. Justify each measure by explaining the angle relationships and problem solvingprocesses.

Unit 7 Third Nine WeeksGenerate a complete model (e.g., blueprint, design book, etc.) with labels of angle measures, dimensions, and a geometric classification of each figure in a given real-life problem situation which involves length and area. Use mathematical language to identify a pair of complementary and supplementary angles. Use the complete model to find a reasonable solution to the real-life problem situation. Validate all solutions with a calculator. Write a justification of the solution process describing the mathematical properties, relationships, and formulas used to determine the angles, dimensions, and geometric classifications of the figures in the problem. (7.2B, 7.2F, 7.2G; 7.3B; 7.4A; 7.6A, 7.6B; 7.8C; 7.9A; 7.13A, 7.13B, 7.13C, 7.13D; 7.14A; 7.15A, 7.15B)

Sample Performance Indicator: Lisa has decided to replace the grass in her back yard and obtained a blueprint from her contractor. While inspecting the blueprint, she noticed that not all of the measurements were noted for her pond, wooden deck, and patio. She remembered that her yard is 14 yards long and 6 yards wide, the perimeter of the wooden deck is 28.75 ft, and the semi-circumference of the patio is 12.56 ft.

Create a blueprint of Lisa’s backyard with labels of the angle measures and dimensions of the pond, wooden deck, and patio. Use mathematical language to identify a pair of complementary and supplementary angles and a classification of the geometric shape of the pond and wooden deck. Use the blueprint to determine the amount of grass in square feet Lisa should purchase and a reasonable estimate of the cost if she purchases a square foot of grass for $.75. Validate all solutions with a calculator. Write a justification of the solution process describing the mathematical properties, relationships, and formulas used to determine the area of the pond, wooden deck, and patio in order to find the amount and cost of grass needed for the backyard.
