Grade 6 GEOMETRY Essential Knowledge Skills and Processes At a Glance – Target for Understanding: Properties and Relationships 6.11 Identify and label the axes of a coordinate plane. Identify and label the quadrants of a coordinate plane. Identify the quadrant or the axis on which a point is positioned by examining the coordinates (ordered pair) of the point. Graph ordered pairs in the four quadrants and on the axes of a coordinate plane. Identify ordered pairs represented by points in the four quadrants and on the axes of the coordinate plane. Relate the coordinate of a point to the distance from each axis and relate the cordinates of a single point to another point on the same horizontal or vertical line.† 6.12 Characterize polygons as congruent and noncongruent according to the measures of their sides and angles. Determine the congruence of segments, angles, and polygons given their attributes. Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving practical and mathematical problems.† 6.13 Sort and classify polygons as quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles, trapezoids, kites, rhombi, and squares based on their properties. Properties include number of parallel sides, angle measures and number of congruent sides. Identify the sum of the measures of the angles of a quadrilateral as 360°.
