Texas Gateway: Making Conjectures About Congruence Transformations
Given geometric figures on the coordinate plane, the student will apply the definition of congruence, in terms of rigid transformations, to identify congruent figures. The student will also identify and distinguish between reflectional...

Illustrative Mathematics: g.co Reflections and Isosceles Triangles
This task has learners 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...

Illustrative Mathematics: G Co Why Does Asa Work?
In triangles ABC and ABD, we are given that angle BAC is congruent to angle BAD and angle ABC is congruent to angle ABD. Show that the reflection of the plane about line AB maps triangle ABD to triangle ABC. Aligns with G-CO.B.8.
