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.
MCC8.G.5 Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle‐angle criterion for similarity of triangles.
Monday August 26
Students will complete lesson 2.1 Slide, Flip and Turn. This is a great reteach of Chapter 1. Students who successfully met the standards on Chapter 1 Test will not complete the lesson but will do a Graphing Calculator Technology project called Transform Snoopy.
Homework: Answer Talk the Talk on page 45 of the student text.
Tuesday August 27
Students will work on the Mathia Online Computer Program. Here students demonstrate mastery of the standards taught. We will use this program every Tuesday.
Wednesday August 28
Students will complete lesson 2.2 All the Same to You. Students will identify corresponding sides and corresponding angles of congruent triangles and explore the relationships between them. They will be asked to write congruence statements .
Homework : Skills Practice 2.2 pages 343 - 344 and 347
Thursday August 29
Students will complete parts of lessons 2.3 Two Ways to Tell and 2.4 And Here's Two More. Students will use the SSS, SAS, ASA and AAS congruence theorems to identify congruent triangles.Homework: Skills Practice 2.3 (354-355, 357) and 2.4 (363-364 and 367-368)
Friday August 30
We will have a test over chapter 2 Congruence of Triangles.
The Mathematical Coat of Arms Kente Cloth Design Project is Due!
