matrix rule affect the transformation?
Curriculum Goals/Objectives
G.CO.2 Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g.,
transparencies and geometry software; describe
transformations as functions that take points in the plane
as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare
transformations that preserve distance and angle to those
that do not (e.g. translation versus horizontal stretch).
G.CO.3 Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular
polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it
onto itself.
G.CO.4 Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and
translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines,
parallel lines, and line segments.
G.CO.5 Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or
translation, draw the transformed figure, e.g. graph paper,
tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence
of transformations that will carry a given figure onto
another.
G.CO.6 Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform
figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on
a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of
congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are
congruent
G.CO.7 Use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions
to show that two triangles are congruent if and only if
corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of
angles are congruent
G.CO.8 Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (ASA,
SAS, and SSS) follow from the definition of congruence
in terms of rigid motions.
G.SRT.1.a Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by
a center and a scale factor:
a. A dilation takes a line not passing through the
center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a
line passing through the center unchanged
G.SRT.1.b Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by
a center and a scale factor:
b. The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in
the ratio given by the scale factor.
G.SRT.2 Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms
of similarity transformations to decide if they are similar;
explain using similarity transformations the of similarity
for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of
angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of
sides.
G.MG.3 Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g.,
designing an object or structure to satisfy physical
constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic
grid systems based on ratios).*
