Georgia HomeroomG.GSR.3Transformations and Congruence
Experiment with transformations in the plane to develop precise definitions for translations, rotations, and reflections and use these to describe symmetries and congruence to model and explain real-life phenomena.
Appears in: Mathematics, High School
Expectations
G.GSR.3.1Use geometric reasoning and symmetries of regular polygons to develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations.
G.GSR.3.2Verify experimentally the congruence properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: 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.
G.GSR.3.3Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to draw the transformed figures and to predict the effect on a given figure. Describe a sequence of transformations from one figure to another and use transformation properties to determine congruence.
G.GSR.3.4Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence follow from the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions. Use congruency criteria for triangles to solve problems and to prove relationships in geometric figures.
