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

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.

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).

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.

Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is to have students identify corresponding parts in congruent triangles.
Identify students who:
make general statements such as “The lines look parallel.”
make arguments based on properties of rotations
make arguments based on alternate interior angles being congruent
Making dynamic geometry software available gives students an opportunity to choose appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
Launch
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Demonstrate and encourage students to use color coding and annotations to highlight connections between representations in a problem. For example, mark congruent angles with the same color.

Student Facing
Draw a triangle.
Find the midpoint of the longest side of your triangle.
Rotate your triangle
\(180^{\circ}\)
using the midpoint of the longest side as the center of the rotation.
Label the
corresponding
parts and mark what must be congruent.
Make a conjecture and justify it.
What type of quadrilateral have you formed?
What is the definition of that quadrilateral type?
Why must the quadrilateral you have fit the definition?

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students are struggling to perform the rotation, encourage them to use whatever tools they are most comfortable with, including sketching.
Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to share examples of convincing arguments.
Select previously identified students to share in this order:
A student who made a general statement such as “The lines look parallel.”
A student who used the fact that rotation by
\(180^{\circ}\)
using a point not on the line as the center takes lines to parallel lines
A student who used corresponding parts to establish that the lines were parallel because alternate interior angles are congruent
If no student used corresponding parts to establish alternate interior angles as congruent, ask students to look for structure by looking at the congruence marks and seeing whether they match any diagrams on the reference chart.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to support whole-class discussion. As students share their justification for why the opposite sides must be parallel, ask students to restate what they heard using precise mathematical language. Consider providing students time to restate what they hear to a partner before selecting one or two students to share with the class. Ask the original speaker if their peer was accurately able to restate their thinking. Call students’ attention to any words or phrases that helped to clarify the original statement. This provides more students with an opportunity to produce language as they interpret the reasoning of others.
