Unit (title/#): Transformations, Congruence and Similarity
Standard/skill focus:
MCC8.G.1 Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:
a. Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.
b. Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.
c. Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
MCC8.G.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.
MCC8.G.3 Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.
Monday August 19
Students will complete text lesson 1.3 Mirror, Mirror - Reflections of Geometric Figures on the Coordinate Plane.
Homework: Assignment 1.3
Tuesday August 20
Students will work in the online program Mathia to complete the first 3 lessons.
Translating, Rotating and Reflecting Geometric Figures in the Coordinate Plane.
Wednesday August 21
Student will work on the Mathematical Coat of Arms Project in class. (scroll down to last weeks post for a copy of the project requirements) We will discuss the requirements and the scoring rubric. (8D will also complete Transformation Snoopy using the graphing calculator. )
Students will continue to work on the project for homework. The project is due completed on Friday.
Thursday August 22
Students will complete skills practice 1.2 and 1.3 to review for their math test over chapter 1. If they do not finish it will be for homework.
Friday August 23
Test Chapter 1 and students will need to complete through level 18 on Shape Mods for a quiz grade.
