Smart Quotes in Geometry Overview

[Jim]

From the overview:

The 4 quotation marks here are not smart quotes while all the rest of the quotation marks in the document are.

“Similarity transformations (rigid motions followed by dilations) define similarity

in the same way that rigid motions define congruence, thereby formalizing the

similarity ideas of “same shape” and “scale factor” developed in the middle grades.

These transformations lead to the criterion for triangle similarity that two pairs of

corresponding angles are congruent.”

[Bill McCallum]

And again!

Not directly related to Geometry, but another minor inconsistency throughout the standards:

‘multi-step’ is sometimes hyphenated and sometimes not.

(I noticed because I was searching for ‘multi-step’ and only found some of the references).

[Jim]

Similarly, sometimes a degree symbol is used, and sometimes a superscript ‘o’ is used.

[Bill McCallum]

Now I am really impressed by your proof-reading skills!

[Cathy Kessel]

Thanks for pointing these out. They’ve been noted in the Progressions Appendix.
