RATIONALE Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software .  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .8.G.A.1 Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .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.  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .8.G.A.3 Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .8.G.A.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.

Experiment with transformations in the plane CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.CO.A.1  Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.CO.A.2  Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch). CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.CO.A.3  Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.CO.A.4  Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.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. National Council of Teachers of Mathematics 2016 April 14th V. La Ferla 4

Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.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.  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.CO.B.7 Use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.CO.B.8 Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (ASA, SAS, and SSS) follow from the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions.

 Make geometric constructions  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.CO.D.12 Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.).  Apply geometric concepts in modeling situations  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.MG.A.1 Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT .HSG.MG.A.3 Apply geometric methods to solve design problems National Council of Teachers of Mathematics 2016 April 14th V.

Which Standards for Mathematical Practice are addressed?  CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.  CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.  CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.  CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP4 Model with mathematics.  CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP5 Use appropriate tools strategically.  CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP6 Attend to precision.  CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP7 Look for and make use of structure.  CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

2.Label the pre- image A,B,C,D and their image A’,B’C’,D’ 3. What do you notice about the reflection in relation to the pre-image? 4. Connect AA’, BB’, CC’ a. Is there a relationship between AA’ and the line of reflection? b. Is there a relationship between BB’ and the line of reflection? Is it different that AA’ or the same? Explain. c. Is there a relationship between AA’, BB’, CC’? National Council of Teachers of Mathematics 2016 April 14th V. La Ferla 10

5.When a shape is reflected over a line, some properties hold true for any shape. Analyze these properties by answering the following questions:  Does the shape change into another shape when it is reflected or does it stay the same?  Is the shape the same size?  Examine the orientation of the shape. Did it stay the same or change? 6. What happens when a point is on the line of reflection? 7. What happens when a point is not on the line of reflection? 8. Can you write a definition for reflections? National Council of Teachers of Mathematics 2016 April 14th V. La Ferla 11
