UNIT 1: GEOMETRY - TRANSFORMATIONS
PRIORITY STANDARDS:
- 8.G.2 Understand that two dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them
- 8.G.3 Describe the effects of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two dimensional figures using coordinates
- 8.G.4 Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
- How do we determine if two dimensional figures are congruent or similar to each other?
- What is the difference between dilations, rotations, reflections and translations?
- What sequence of transformations can be used to demonstrate that two figures are congruent or similar?
