Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content Congruence G-CO
Prove geometric theorems [Focus on validity of underlying reasoning while using variety of ways of writing proofs]
G-CO.9 Prove theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include: vertical angles are congruent; when a
transversal crosses parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent;
points on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are exactly those equidistant from the segments endpoints.
G-CO.12 Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge,
string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle;
bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a
line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.
