Congruent vs Similar Triangles

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 8

MA19.8.22
Verify experimentally the properties of rigid motions (rotations, reflections, and translations): lines are taken to lines, and line segments are taken to line segments of the same length; angles are taken to angles of the same measure; and parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.

Vocabulary

Congruent
Rotation
Reflection
Translation

Knowledge

Students know:

How to measure line segments and angles.
That similar figures have congruent angles.
The definition/concept of what a figure does when it undergoes a rotation, reflection, and translation.
How to perform a translation, reflection, and rotation.

Skills

Students are able to:

verify by measuring and comparing lengths of a figure and its image that after a figure has been translated, reflected, or rotated its corresponding lines and line segments remain the same length.

Understanding

Students understand that:

congruent figures have the same shape and size.
Two figures in the plane are said to be congruent if there is a sequence of rigid motions that takes one figure onto the other.

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 8

MA19.8.24
Given a pair of two-dimensional figures, determine if a series of dilations and rigid motions maps one figure onto the other, recognizing that if such a sequence exists the figures are similar; describe the transformation sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.

Reflection
Rotation
Dilation
Scale factor

Knowledge

Students know:

How to perform rigid transformations and dilations graphically and algebraically (applying coordinate rules).
What makes figures similar and congruent.

Skills

Students are able to:

Use mathematical language to explain how transformations can be used to prove that two figures are similar or congruent.
Demonstrate/perform a series of transformations to prove or disprove that two figures are similar or congruent.

Understanding

Students understand that:

There is a proportional relationship between corresponding characteristics of the figures, such as lengths of line segments, and angle measures as they develop a definition for similarity between figures.
The coordinate plane can be used as tool because it gives a visual image of the relationship between the two figures.
