Outcomes

M2.G.CO.A.1

Describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane (pre-image) as inputs and give other points (image) as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle measure to those that do not, by hand for basic transformations and using technology for more complex cases.

M2.G.SRT.A.1

Use properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor to solve problems and to justify relationships in geometric figures.

M2.G.SRT.A.2

Define similarity in terms of transformations. Use transformations to determine whether two figures are similar.

M2.MP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

M2.MP3

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

M2.MP4

Model with mathematics.

M2.MP5

Use appropriate tools strategically.

M2.MP6

Attend to precision.

M2.MP7

Look for and make use of structure.

M2.MP8

Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
