8th Geometry

Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations that create congruent figures.

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. 

Describe the effect of dilations about the origin, translations, rotations about the origin in 90 degree increments, and reflections across the 𝑥-axis and 𝑦- axis on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.

Verify experimentally the properties of dilations that create similar figures.

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.
