• Sub-Unit 2: Congruence

  Students learn and use the word congruent and come to understand how congruent figures are related to rigid transformations. This builds on work students did in Grade 7 sketching geometric shapes given specific conditions.

• Are They the Same?
• Are They Congruent?

• Sub-Unit 3: Angle Relationships

  Students use transformations to discover new angle relationships. This builds on students’ work with supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles from Grade 7.
