Monday 4/28

Today we held a class discuss on what it means to be congruent and what it means to be similar, forming very specific definitions for each.

We also looked closely at the standards for these two concepts, making sure that we all understood them fully in preparation for Friday's Common Assessment #8.

8.G.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.

8.G.4: 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.

We also started a transformations activity around Ms. Pac-Man that we'll continue tomorrow.

There is no homework.
