Lesson 10
Objective
Review rigid transformations and congruence between two figures.
Common Core Standards
Core Standards
?
-
8.G.A.1.A — Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.
-
8.G.A.1.B — Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.
-
8.G.A.1.C — Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
-
8.G.A.2 — Understand that a 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.A.3 — Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.
Criteria for Success
?
- Understand the properties of rigid transformations and their impact on lines, line segments, angle measures, and parallel line relationships.
- Describe a sequence of transformations that demonstrates congruency between two figures.
- Perform a sequence of transformations to map one figure to another.
- Describe the effects of transformations using coordinate points.
Tips for Teachers

Khan Academy Geometric Transformations
—
This explores how virtual animation sets are created using geometric transformations. It is a great way to show students how transformations are used in digital arts and give them experience working with transformations online (MP.4). Requires computers.

MARS Formative Assessment Lesson for Grade 8 Representing and Combining Transformations
—
A maze-like activity where students draw connections to different images using transformations. This includes reflections over the lines y=x and y=-x. These can be removed, or students may need additional guidance since these weren't covered in lessons

Challenge
Target Task
?
Figure 1 is shown in the coordinate plane below. Four other figures are shown: Figures $${A, B, C,}$$ and $$D$$.
- Which of the four figures are congruent to Figure 1?
- For two of those figures identified in part (a), describe a sequence that proves the congruency between Figure 1 and the other figure.
