I will update this page with the standards as we progress through the units.
Unit 1: KEY STANDARDS
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models,
transparencies, or geometry software.
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.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.
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. For
example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the three angles
appear to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this
is so.
