Math Standards
Aligned with common core standards 7.G.1, 8.G.1.4 8.G.A.3. 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. Florida’s 8th Math B,E.S.T. standards MA.8.GR.2.1 Given a preimage and image generated by a single transformation, identify the transformation that describes the relationship. MA.8.GR.2.2 Given a preimage and image generated by a single dilation, identify the scale factor that describes the relationship. Instruction focuses on the preservation of similarity and the lack of preservation of congruence when a figure maps onto a scaled copy of itself, unless the scaling factor is 1.
