GM: G-CO.A: : Experiment with transformations in the plane.

GM: G-CO.A.2: : Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies, tracing paper, or geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).

GM: G-CO.B: : Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions.

GM: G-CO.B.6: : Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.

GM: G-CO.C: : Prove and apply geometric theorems.

GM: G-CO.C.9: : Prove and apply theorems about lines and angles.

Theorems include: measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°; base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent; the segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half the length; the medians of a triangle meet at a point.

GM: G-CO.C.11: : Prove and apply theorems about parallelograms. Theorems include: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, and conversely, rectangles are parallelograms with congruent diagonals.

GM: G-SRT.C.6: : Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles, including special right triangles (30-60-90 and 45-45-90), are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

GM: G-C.B: : Find arc lengths and areas of sectors of circles.

GM: S-CP: : Conditional Probability and the Rules of Probability

GM: S-CP.A: : Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data.

GM: S-CP.A.2: : Understand that two events A and B are independent if the probability of A and B occurring together is the product of their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are independent.

GM: S-CP.A.3: : Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B.

GM: S-CP.B: : Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

GM: S-CP.B.6: : Find the conditional probability of A given B as the fraction of B’s outcomes that also belong to A, and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
