Lesson 1
Moving in the Plane
Frame to Frame

Here are positions of a shape:

4 panels showing the same figure in different positions and orientations.

Describe how the shape moves from:

  1. Frame 1 to Frame 2.

  2. Frame 2 to Frame 3.

  3. Frame 3 to Frame 4.

Show Solution
  1. Slide down
  2. Turn counterclockwise 90 degrees (or one quarter of a full turn)
  3. Slide up
Lesson 2
Naming the Moves
Is It a Reflection?

What type of move takes Figure A to Figure B?

Two identical 4 sided figures labeled A and B share a common vertex. A dashed line labeled l slants downward and to the right and passes through the common vertex.

Explain your reasoning.

Show Solution

Sample responses:

  • The move is 1 rotation. If Figure A is turned around the point shared by Figures A and B, it can land on Figure B.
  • The move is 2 reflections. If Figure A is flipped over line \ell and then flipped over again so that the shared points and angle line up, then it can land on Figure B.

Lesson 8
Rotation Patterns
Is It a Rotation?

Triangle ABCABC is rotated 180180^\circ around point CC. Will the image line up with triangle CDECDE? Explain how you know.

Two identical triangles labeled A and B that share a common vertex. A dashed line labeled l slants downward and to the right and passes through the common vertex.

Show Solution

No. Sample response: If triangle CDECDE was a 180180^\circ rotation of triangle ABCABC, then line segment ABAB would be parallel to line segment DEDE.

Lesson 9
Moves in Parallel
Finding Unknown Measurements

Points AA’ and BB’ are the images of AA and BB after a 180180^\circ rotation around point OO.

Lines A A prime and B B prime intersect at point O. Angle A O B is 79 degrees.

Answer each question and explain your reasoning without measuring segments or angles.

  1. Name a segment whose length is the same as segment AOAO.
  2. What is the measure of angle AOBA'OB'?
Show Solution
  1. Segment AOA’O, because AA’ is the image of AA after a 180180^\circrotation with center at OO. This rotation preserves distances and takes segment AOAO to segment AOA’O.
  2. 7979^\circ, the same measure as AOB\angle AOB, because the 180180^\circ rotation with center at OO takes AOB\angle AOB to AOB\angle A’OB’. The rotation preserves angle measures.

Problem 1

Here is a line segment CDCD with midpoint MM.

  1. Rotate segment CDCD 9090^\circ clockwise around point MM, and label the image as FGFG.
  2. Rotate segment CDCD 180180^\circ around point EE and label the new segment HJHJ
  3. Which segment is parallel to segment CDCD?
Show Solution

  1. See image
  2. See image
  3. HJHJ is parallel to CDCD
Problem 2

Triangle EDCEDC is the image of triangle ABCABC after a rigid transformation.

  1. Describe a rigid transformation that takes ABCABC to EDCEDC.
  2. Name 2 angles that have the same measure and explain how you know.
  3. Name 2 side lengths that must be the same and explain how you know.
Show Solution

Sample responses:

  1. Rotate triangle ABCABC 180180^\circ around point CC.
  2. Angle AA is the same as angle EE, or angle BB is the same as angle DD, or angle ACBACB is the same as angle ECDECD; since triangle EDCEDC is the image of triangle ABCABC after a rigid transformation, the corresponding angles are the same measure.
  3. ABAB is the same length as EDED, or BCBC is the same length as DCDC, or ACAC is the same length as ECEC; since triangle EDCEDC is the image of triangle ABCABC after a rigid transformation, the corresponding side lengths are the same.
Lesson 11
What Is the Same?
Mirror Images

Figure B is the image of Figure A when reflected across line \ell. Are Figure A and Figure B congruent? Explain your reasoning.

Figures A and B and line l. Figure B is a reflection of figure A over the vertical line l.

Show Solution

Yes, they are congruent. There is a rigid transformation that takes one figure to the other, so they are congruent.

Lesson 13
Congruence
Explaining Congruence

Are Figures A and B congruent? Explain your reasoning.

Two ovals, figure A and figure B on a square grid. Figure A is 2 units tall and 3 units wide. Figure B is 2 units tall and 4 units wide.

Show Solution

These figures are not congruent. Sample reasoning: If they were congruent, the longest horizontal distances between two points would be the same. However, for A it is less than 4 units, and for B it is about 4 units.

Section C Check

  1. Which shape is congruent to Shape A? Describe a rigid transformation that takes A to that figure.
  2. Which shape is not congruent to Shape A? Explain how you know.

  2. Shape C is not congruent to Shape A. Sample response: Shape C has 2 side lengths of 3, but Shape A has no side lengths of 3, so they cannot be congruent.
Lesson 14

All the Rest

The diagram shows two parallel lines cut by a transversal. One angle measure is shown.

Two lines that do not intersect. A third line intersects with both lines.
Two lines that do not intersect. A third line intersects with both lines. At the first intersection, angles are marked in clockwise order as a degrees, b, degrees, c degrees, and 54 degrees. At the second intersection, angles are marked in clockwise order as e degrees, f degrees, g degrees, and d degrees.

Find the values of aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff, and gg.

Show Solution

aa: 126126bb: 5454, cc: 126126, dd: 5454, ee: 126126, ff: 5454, gg: 126126

Lesson 15
Adding the Angles in a Triangle
Three Angles

Tyler has 3 right angles. Can he use them to make a triangle? Explain your reasoning.

Show Solution

No. Sample reasoning: 3 right angles sums to more than 180 degrees, since 390=2703\boldcdot90=270.

Lesson 16
Parallel Lines and the Angles in a Triangle
Angle Sum

What is the sum of the angle measures of triangle ABCABC? How do you know?

Show Solution
180180^\circ. Sample response: Since the base and vertex lie on grid lines, we can see the line parallel to BCBC through AA is a straight line. The three angles around point AA add up to a straight angle. Using alternate interior angles, two angles are congruent to angle BB and angle CC, and the third angle is the same as angle AA. So angles AA, BB, and CC add up to 180180^\circ.
Section D Check

Problem 1

Line FGFG is parallel to line HJHJ and cut by transversal mm. Find each angle measure:

  1. aa
  2. bb
  3. cc
  4. dd
Show Solution
  1. 4545^\circ
  2. 135135^\circ
  3. 4545^\circ
  4. 135135^\circ
Problem 2

Line ABAB is parallel to line CDCD. Explain how you know that the sum of the angles of triangle ABCABC is 180180^\circ.

Show Solution
Sample response: Angles ECAECA, ACBACB, and BCDBCD form a straight angle, which is 180180^\circ. Angle ECAECA is congruent to angle CABCAB because they are alternate interior angles. Angle BCDBCD is congruent to angle CBACBA because they are alternate interior angles. So the angles in triangle ABCABC are congruent to the angles that make a straight angle and must also sum to 180180^\circ.

Another vertex at 9 units right and 1 unit up. Another vertex at 8 units right and 2 units up. Another vertex at 8 units right 4 units up.</p>  

Show Solution

Answers vary. Sample response: Polygon A can be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise around its furthermost point on the right shown in the picture and then translated 4 units to the right.

<p>Transformation of Polygon A to B.</p>

Minimal Tier 1 response:

  • Work is complete and correct.
  • Sample: Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise around the rightmost point of Polygon A, translate 4 units right.

Tier 2 response:

  • Work shows general conceptual understanding and mastery, with some errors.
  • Sample errors: A drawing showing the intermediate transformation (the green polygon in the sample response), but no verbal descriptions; incomplete verbal descriptions (such as reference to a rotation without specifying a center point); the sequence of transformations contains a small, easily identifiable error (such as saying to rotate clockwise when the counterclockwise direction is the one that works); sequence of transformations is correct but does not use proper vocabulary (“turn” instead of rotate; “move” instead of translate).

Tier 3 response:

  • Significant errors in work demonstrate lack of conceptual understanding or mastery.
  • Sample errors: Explanation without reference to rigid transformations, or a sequence of transformations that does not take Polygon A to Polygon B (with no obvious small mistakes responsible for this error); descriptions of transformations are very unclear and the intended meaning is not evident.
Problem 5

For each pair of shapes, decide whether or not Shape A is congruent to Shape B. Explain your reasoning.

  1. First pair:

    &lt;p&gt;Two irregular polygons, please ask for further assistance.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
 

  2. Second pair:

    &lt;p&gt;Two irregular polygons, please ask for further assistance.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
 

Show Solution
  1. Congruent. If Shape A is reflected over its right side, then rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise around the lower vertex, it can be placed on top of Shape B with a translation down and to the right.
  2. Not congruent. The shapes look congruent, but when Shape A is moved on top of Shape B with a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation and a translation, they do not match up.

Minimal Tier 1 response:

  • Work is complete and correct.
  • Acceptable errors: Omitting reference to lines of reflection, centers of rotation, angles of rotation, and distance of translation, provided the visual makes these things clear.
  • Sample:
  1. (with accompanying accurate drawing) Congruent, because I can reflect Shape A, rotate it, and then translate it onto Shape B.
  2. (with accompanying accurate drawing) Not congruent, because when I rotate Shape A and then translate it, it still doesn’t match up with Shape B. Alternate response: I measured the angles, and they are not the same in the two shapes. 

Tier 2 response:

  • Work shows general conceptual understanding and mastery, with some errors.
  • Sample errors: Transformations are shown, but with no written descriptions; in part b, transformations are done mostly correctly but enough accuracy was lost that the shapes appear to coincide.

Tier 3 response:

  • Significant errors in work demonstrate lack of conceptual understanding or mastery.
  • Sample errors: Work states that shapes are or are not congruent with no justification; descriptions of transformations are unclear and the intended meaning is not evident; vague explanations, such as “the shapes look the same.”
Problem 6

Lines ABAB and CDCD are parallel. Find the measures of the three angles in triangle ABFABF.

&lt;p&gt;Parallel lines A B and C D cut by transversals A D and B C intersecting at point F. Point E is on A D and above the parallel lines. Angle C D E is 157 degrees. Angle D C F is 42 degrees.&lt;/p&gt;<br>

Problem 7

Triangle CDACDA is the image of triangle ABCABC after a 180180^\circ rotation around the midpoint of segment ACAC. Triangle ECBECB is the image of triangle ABCABC after a 180180^\circ rotation around the midpoint of segment BCBC.

The measure of angle DD is 5252^\circ and the measure of angle EE is 9494^\circ

&lt;p&gt;Quadrilateral A B D E. Point C lies on D E. Segments A C and A B are drawn inside the quadrilateral and each have a point marked.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
 

  1. Identify at least two pairs of congruent angles in the figure and explain how you know they are congruent.
  2. What is the measure of angle CBECBE? Explain how you know.
  3. Name a triangle congruent to triangle CBECBE. Describe a rigid transformation from triangle CBECBE to that triangle.
Show Solution
  1. Any two pairs: Angle DD, angle ECBECB, and angle CBACBA are congruent; angle DCADCA, angle EE, and angle BACBAC are congruent; angle DACDAC, angle BCABCA, and angle CBECBE are congruent. Sample reasoning: Triangle CDACDA and triangle ECBECB are the images of triangle ABCABC after a rotation, so there is a rigid transformation from any one of the triangles to the other, and they must be congruent. Since the triangles are congruent, their corresponding angles are also congruent.
  2. 3434^\circ. Angle ECBECB is 5252^\circ since it is congruent to angle DD. Angle DCADCA is 9494^\circ since it is congruent to angle EE. Since the angles around point CC form a straight angle, they must be 180180^\circ. Angle ACBACB is 3434^\circ since 1809452=34180-94-52=34. Since angle ACBACB is congruent to angle CBECBE, angle CBECBE is also  3434^\circ.
  3. Sample responses:
    • Triangle DACDAC. Translate left by the directed line segment from point C to point D
    • Triangle BCABCA. Rotate 180180^\circ around the midpoint of BCBC.

Minimal Tier 1 response:

  • Work is complete and correct, with complete explanation or justification.
  • Sample:
  1. Angle DD and angle ECBECB. Angle EE, and angle DCADCA. Triangle ACDACD is the image of triangle BECBEC after a translation, so their corresponding angles are congruent.
  2. 3434^\circ. Angle ECBECB is 5252^\circ since it is congruent to angle DD. Angle DCADCA is 9494^\circ since it is congruent to angle EE. Since the angles around point CC form a straight angle, they must be 180180^\circ. Angle ACBACB is 3434^\circ since 1809452=34180-94-52=34. Since angle ACBACB is congruent to angle CBECBE, angle CBECBE is also  3434^\circ.
  3. Triangle DACDAC. Translate left by the directed line segment from point C to point D
  • Acceptable errors: An argument in part c that relies on congruent pairs of angles named in part a without restating the congruence in part c.

Tier 2 response:

  • Work shows good conceptual understanding and mastery, with either minor errors or correct work with insufficient explanation or justification.
  • Sample errors: Explanations in parts b and c appeal to the diagram and are logically sequenced but do not appeal specifically to transformations; good, complete explanations for parts b and c with incorrect angles identified in part b; no mention that the rotations are 180180^\circ in part b; one incorrect angle pair in part a; work for part c mentions that the sum of three angle measures is 180180^\circ but does not justify this by saying they are in a triangle or a straight angle.

Tier 3 response:

  • Work shows a developing but incomplete conceptual understanding, with significant errors.
  • Sample errors: Work for part a does not appeal to rotations; response to part c does not mention congruent angle pairs (see note under Tier 1 response); response to part c does not mention angles adding to 180180^\circ; two incorrect angle pairs in part a without excellent parts b and c; three or more error types under Tier 2 response.

Tier 4 response:

  • Work includes major errors or omissions that demonstrate a lack of conceptual understanding and mastery.
  • Sample errors: Little progress on any of the problem parts; justification with many errors or no justification for parts b and c.
