• Representations: To use representations to model and interpret physical, social and mathematical phenomena.
• Geometry: To use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems.
• To analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three- dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationships.
