You can use the NASA CONNECT Theorems Web Activity to meet the following Mathematics (NCTM) Standards:

Expectations

  • Recognize reasoning and proof as fundamental aspects of mathematics.
  • Make and investigate mathematical conjectures.
  • Develop and evaluate mathematical arguments and proofs.
  • Create and critique inductive and deductive arguments concerning geometric ideas and relationships, such as congruence, similarity, and the Pythagorean relationship.
  • Understand relationships among angles, side lengths, perimeters, areas, and volumes of similar objects.
  • Select and apply techniques and tools to accurately find length, area, volume, and angle measures to appropriate levels of precision.
  • Describe sizes, positions, and orientations of shapes under informal transformations such as flips, turns, slides, and scaling.
  • Draw geometric objects with specified properties such as side lengths or angle measures.
  • Use visual tools such as networks to represent and solve problems.
  • Build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving.
  • Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems.
  • Monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving.
  • Organize and consolidate their mathematical thinking through communication.
