Lesson Plan

Illustrative Mathematics: g.co Reflections and Isosceles Triangles

Curated by ACT

This task has students link their intuitive notions of symmetries of a triangle with statements proving that said triangle is unmoved by applying certain rigid transformations. The mechanism through which students do this is via congruence proofs, so the task illustrates the general relationship between congruence and rigid transformations. Aligns with G-CO.B.
