Understand Congruence And Similarity Using Physical Models, Trans- Parencies, Or Geometry Software.

Outcomes

  • 8.G.1
    Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:
    Examples
  • 8.G.3
    Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.
    Examples
  • 8.G.5
    Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so.
