Unit Standards: MCC8.G1, MCC8.G2, MCC8.G3
Crosswalk COACH Connection: Lesson 24
This week in math, we will continue to study the standards in Unit 1a: Rigid Transformations and Congruency. Students will focus on rotations and reflections, particularly describing the effect that these transformations have on a figure.
On of the big ideas of this unit is that rigid transformation produce images that are congruent to the original figure. Students will recall congruency and demonstrate their understanding by writing congruence statements to identify corresponding sides and angles of two figures. In addition, students will use transformations to determine if figures are congruent.
Again, it is important that students are well versed with the vocabulary to be most successful with this unit. The unit terms include:
- translation
- rotation
- reflection
- original
- image
- clockwise
- counterclockwise
- horizontal
- vertical
- x-axis
- y-axis
- x coordinate
- y coordinate
- point of rotation
- angle of rotation
- line of reflection
- equidistant
Below is an outline of this week's agenda. This outline is subject to change based on the needs of the students.
