1. Defining Congruence
Investigation 2.1 and 2.2

2. Learning Goal 2(8.G.A.2, 8.G.A.3):
Apply properties of transformations to perform and explain sequences of transformations and prove figures are congruent. 4 3 2 1
In addition to 3, student is able to teach others how to apply properties of transformations.
Apply properties of transformations to perform and explain sequences of transformations and prove figures are congruent.
Apply properties of transformations to perform sequences of transformation.
With help, apply properties of transformations to perform sequences of transformation.
Even with help, I am unable to apply properties of transformations.

3. Congruent Tell your partner what you think congruent means.
Two figures have the same size and same shape are congruent.
Draw an example of objects that are congruent.

4. Connecting Congruent Polygons
When two polygons are congruent, you can match vertices in a way that pairs sides and angles of the same size.
Quadrilaterals ABCD and RSPQ are congruent.
What are pairs of congruent sides?
What are pairs of congruent angles?

5. Connecting Congruent Polygons
How can you flip, turn, and or slide one quadrilateral onto the other?
Write down which vertices in quadrilateral ABCD correspond to which vertices in quadrilateral PQRS. The arrow “→” means “corresponds to.”
A → B →
C → D → R S P Q

6. Geometric Notation AB means “line segment AB”
The symbol  means “is congruent to.”
Complete these statements to show which pairs of sides in the two quadrilaterals are congruent.
AB  BC 
CD  DA  SR PS RQ PQ

7. Geometric Notation The notation A means “angle A.”
Complete these statements to show which angles are congruent.
A 
B 
C 
D  R S P Q

8. Geometric Notation
Triangle ABC and RQP show a common way of marking congruent sides and angles.
The sides with the same number of tic marks are congruent.
The angles with the same number of arcs are congruent.

9. Geometric Notation Copy the two figures. ΔABC  ΔZYX
Use tic marks and arcs to show which sides and angles are congruent to each other.
