Reflection

Exploring Transformations
First, go to http://geogebratube.com/student/m92392
Click on the translate box.
What happens to the measures of the triangle as it is translated?

Next, click on the rotate box. Choose multiple different angle measures to
rotate the triangle.
What happens to the measures of the triangle as it is rotated?

Finally, click on the reflect box. Move the mirror line around and transform
the triangle.
What happens to the measures of the triangle as it is reflected?

What can we say about the triangle after it has been transformed?

Ex. 1
Explain how the triangle in example 1
could have been moved from its position
in quadrant II to its position in quadrant III
through a series of transformations.

Is it still the same triangle in quadrant III


as it was in quadrant II?

SSS Mini-Proof
Groups (4 students) will all be given 3 pieces of straws of differing lengths. All groups are given the same 3
lengths and asked to construct these pieces into a triangle any way they would like. After they measure all
of the angles, one person from each group will go up to the board to report the angle measures. Students
should see that every groups triangle had very similar measures. Use this as an introduction to the SideSide-Side Postulate.
Jobs
1. Make the triangle/glue it onto the paper
2. Measure the angles
3. Record the angle measures
4. Write your measures on the board
Rules
-All sides must be touching
-No overlapping sides
-No extended sides
