WI Mathematics Standard- Geometry- C.12.1--- Identify, describe, and analyze properties of figures, relationships among figures, and relationships among their parts by   WI Mathematics Standard- Measurement- D.12.3--- Determine measurements indirectly, using WI English Language Arts Standard- Reading/Literature- A.12.4--- Students will read to acquire information.
 * Academic Standards Addressed: **
 * constructing physical models
 * drawing precisely with paper-and-pencil, hand calculators, and computer software
 * using appropriate transformations (e.g., translations, rotations, reflections, enlargements)
 * using reason and logic
 * estimation
 * proportional reasoning, including those involving squaring and cubing (e.g., reasoning that areas of circles are proportional to the squares of their radii)
 * techniques of algebra, geometry, and right triangle trigonometry
 * formulas in applications (e.g., for compound interest, distance formula)
 * geometric formulas to derive lengths, areas, or volumes of shapes and objects (e.g., cones, parallelograms, cylinders, pyramids)
 * geometric relationships and properties of circles and polygons (e.g., size of central angles, area of a sector of a circle)
 * conversion constants to relate measures in one system to another (e.g., meters to feet, dollars to Deutschmarks
 * Apply tests of logic and reasoning to informational and persuasive texts
 * Analyze and synthesize the concepts and details encountered in informational texts such as reports, technical manuals, historical papers, and government documents
 * Draw on and integrate information from multiple sources when acquiring knowledge and developing a position on a topic of interest
 * Evaluate the reliability and authenticity of information conveyed in a text, using criteria based on knowledge of the author, topic, and context and analysis of logic, evidence, propaganda, and language
