Examples, solutions, videos, and lessons to help Grade 8 students verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations.
A. Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.
B. Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.
C. Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
Common Core: 8.G.1
Translation: Sliding a shape up, down, left and/or right.
Reflection: Creating a mirror image on the other side of a line.
Rotation: Spinning a shape by a certain number of degrees around a point.
Dilation: Growing or shrinking a shape while keeping the angle measures the same.

Suggested Learning Targets
- I can define and identify rotations, reflections, and translations.
- I can identify corresponding sides and corresponding angles of similar figures.
- I can understand prime notation to describe an image after a translation, reflection, or rotation.
- I can identify center of rotation.
- I can identify direction and degree of rotation.
- I can identify line of reflection.
- I can use physical models, transparencies, or geometry software to verify the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations (i.e. Lines are taken to lines and line segments to line segments of the same length, angles are taken to angles of the same measure, parallel lines are taken to parallel lines).
