Miss Whitehead / Unit 1: Transformations, Congruence, and Similarity / Dates: August 24th – September 16th
Math Florida Standard(s)
Benchmarks, Descriptions
and DOK levels / MAFS.8.G.1.3 (DOK 2): Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates. MAFS.8.G.1.4 (DOK 2): 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. MAFS.8.G.1.1 (DOK 2): Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations. MAFS.8.G.1.2 (DOK 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.
Learning Goal / Students will analyze two-dimensional space using congruence and similarity with the effect of transformations on objects and be able to use these understandings to solve real-world or mathematical problems.
Essential Question(s) / How are translations, reflections, and rotations similar? How are they different? What about dilations? How are similar and congruent figures alike and different?
Assessments / Pre-Assessments / Activity I, Activity II, Activity III and Related PowerPoint Activities

Higher Order Question(s) / How can you describe the image using every day words? Using mathematical vocabulary? How do you know figures transformed through rigid motion are congruent? How can you test or prove it? How do you know when figures are similar? How can you prove it? If you know that pairs of corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles are congruent, what do you think is true about the lines? Why are vertical angles equal in measure?
