In this task, using computer software, you will apply reflections, rotations, and translations to a triangle. You will then study what happens to the side lengths and angle measures of the triangle after these transformations have been applied. In each part of the question, a sample picture of the triangle is supplied along with a line of reflection, angle of rotation, and segment of translation: the attached GeoGebra software will allow you to experiment with changing the location of the line of reflection, changing the measure of the angle of rotation, and changing the location and length of the segment of translation.

The purpose of this task is for students to practice plotting points in the coordinate plane and finding the areas of polygons. This task assumes that students already understand how to find areas of polygons by decomposing them into rectangles and triangles;
The purpose of this task is for students to translate between measurements …
The purpose of this task is for students to translate between measurements given in a scale drawing and the corresponding measurements of the object represented by the scale drawing.

The goal of this task is to gather together knowledge and skills from the seventh grade in a context which prepares students for the important eighth grade notion of similarity.

Students' first experience with transformations is likely to be with specific shapes like triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and figures with symmetry. Exhibiting a sequence of transformations that shows that two generic line segments of the same length are congruent is a good way for students to begin thinking about transformations in greater generality.

This is the second in a series of four tasks that gradually build in complexity. The purpose of this series of tasks is to build in a natural way from accessible, concrete problems involving volume to a more abstract understanding of volume. In this iteration, we do away with the lines that delineate individual unit cubes (which makes it more abstract) and generalize from cubes to rectangular prisms. However, the calculations are the same as in 6.G Computing Volume Progression 1.

The goal of this task is to gather together knowledge and skills from the seventh grade in a context which prepares students for the important eighth grade notion of similarity.
The purpose of this task is to help students differentiate between a …
The purpose of this task is to help students differentiate between a circle and the region inside of the circle so that they understand what is being measured when the circumference and area are being found.
The purpose of this task is to help students visualize one way …
The purpose of this task is to help students visualize one way to derive the formula for the area of a circle, which uses the formulas for the circumference of a circle and the area of a parallelogram
The purpose of this activity is to help students think a little …
The purpose of this activity is to help students think a little more flexibly about the concept of area before studying, generally, the areas of triangles and special quadrilaterals.
