Identify two-dimensional figures as similar or congruent given coordinate plane representations.
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Recognize how the space inside a figure increases when the sides are lengthened.
- Use virtual manipulatives to create dilations, reflections, rotations, and translations.
- Use the virtual manipulatives to identify coordinate points, similarity, or congruent. (e.g., lay the shapes on top of each other to determine congruence. Stretch or shrink shapes to determine similarity.)
- Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: similar, area, length, width, volume, square, rectangle, prism.
- Given a picture, identify dimensions needed to calculate area, and volume.
- Compare greater than, less than, equal/same figures in two and three dimensions.

Cluster:
Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software. (Major Cluster) :
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
