standard_description: Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy.
problem_activity: Warm-up
This activity invites students to think carefully about the definition of congruence. Students can use any rigid motion to demonstrate all points are congruent.
Student Facing
If
\(A\)
is a point on the plane and
\(B\)
is a point on the plane, then
\(A\)
is congruent to
\(B\)
.
Try to prove this claim by explaining why you can be certain the claim must be true, or try to disprove this claim by explaining why the claim cannot be true. If you can find a counterexample in which the “if” part (hypothesis) is true, but the “then” part (conclusion) is false, you have disproved the claim.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share. If students only suggest translation, ask if it is possible to use another transformation. If rotation is not mentioned by students, there is no need to continue to push for that solution.
