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.


General Information

Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 8
Domain-Subdomain: Geometry
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.

Test Item Specifications

    Also Assessed:

    MAFS.8.G.1.1 Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:

    MAFS.8.G.1.1a Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.

    MAFS.8.G.1.1b Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.

    MAFS.8.G.1.1c Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.

    Assessment Limits :
    Items should not include the coordinate plane as the coordinate plane is needed in MAFS.8.G.1.3. Limit the sequence to no more than two transformations. Two-dimensional figures are limited to no more than seven sides. A pre-image and image should not include apostrophe notation as this would give away the identification of similarity and congruence. No reference to the definition of congruence or symbols relating to the definition should be used (HS Geometry).
    Calculator :

    Neutral

    Context :

    Allowable

Lesson Plans

Name Description
Coding Geometry Challenge #23 & 24

This set of geometry challenges focuses on using transformations to show similarity and congruence of polygons and circles. Students problem solve and think as they learn to code using block coding software.  Student will need to use their knowledge of the attributes of polygons and mathematical principals of geometry to accomplish the given challenges. The challenges start out fairly simple and move to more complex situations in which students can explore at their own pace or work as a team. Computer Science standards are seamlessly intertwined with the math standards while providing “Step it up!” and “Jump it up!” opportunities to increase rigor.

Dilly Dallying with Dilations Students will understand the concept of dilation by constructing similar polygons on a coordinate grid using coordinate notation of dilation left parenthesis x comma y right parenthesis space rightwards arrow space left parenthesis k x comma k y right parenthesis. students use similar figures to determine the scale factor. students use proportions to determine side lengths of similar figures.
