Congruence in Two Dimensions

Lesson 7

Math

Unit 2

10th Grade

Lesson 7 of 18

Objective


Describe a sequence of rigid motions that map a pre-image to an image (specifically triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, and regular polygons).

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • G.CO.A.5 — Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.
  • G.CO.B.6 — Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.

Foundational Standards

  • 8.G.A.2

Criteria for Success


  1. Distinguish correspondence from congruence and determine when a correspondence is also congruent. 
  2. Predict transformations necessary to map one figure onto another.
  3. Verify the sequence of transformations experimentally using patty paper.
  4. Describe the sequence of transformations on a coordinate plane required to map one figure onto another. 
  5. Describe the sequence of transformations off the coordinate plane required to map one figure onto another.

Target Task


A rectangle has coordinate points at $${A(1,0)}$$, $${B(1,4)}$$, $${C(3,0)}$$,and $${D(3,4)}$$.

What sequence of transformations would result in rectangle with coordinate points at 

$${A''(-3,1)}$$, $${B''(1,1)}$$, $${C''(1,3)}$$, and $${D''(-3,3)}$$? 

  1. Show the figures on a coordinate plane. 
  2. Describe a sequence of transformations. 
  3. Show the transformation of one point using algebraic rules to show your transformations make sense.

Additional Practice


The following resources include problems and activities aligned to the objective of the lesson that can be used for additional practice or to create your own problem set.

  • Include problems where a sequence of transformations is given and students need to match to the appropriate graph or diagram.
