options: Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.

Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.

Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.

Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.

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).
problem_activity: Task
Lisa makes an octagon by successively folding a square piece of paper as follows.  First, she folds the square in half vertically and horizontally and also along both diagonals leaving these creases:
[IMG]
Next, Lisa makes four more folds, identifying each pair of adjacent lines of symmetry for the square used for the folds in the first step:
[IMG]
Finally Lisa folds the four corners of her shape along the red creases marked below:
[IMG]
Explain why the shape Lisa has made is a regular octagon.
