8.G.A: Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

8.G.A.1Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:8.G.A.2Understand 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.A.3Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.8.G.A.4Understand 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.8.G.A.5Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles.
