Chapter 1 Team Test Monday

SymmetrySymmetry: Refers to the ability to perform a transformation without

changing the orientation or position of an object

Reflection Symmetry: If a shape has reflection symmetry, then it remains unchanged when it is reflected across a line of symmetry. (i.e. “M” or “Y” with a vertical line of reflection)

Rotation Symmetry: If a shape has rotation symmetry, then it can be rotated a certain number of degrees (less than 360°) about a point and remain unchanged.

Translation Symmetry: If a shape has translation symmetry, then it can be translated and remain unchanged. (i.e. a line)

Polygons (pg 42)

Polygon: A closed figure made up of straight segments.

Regular Polygon: The sides are all the same length and its angles have equal measure.

Line: Slope-Intercept Form (pg 47)

How can you create a tile pattern with a single parallelogram?

a. Are opposite angles of a parallelogram congruent?

Pick one parallelogram on your paper. Use color to show which angles have equal measure. If two measures are not equal, make sure they are different colors.



b. What does this mean in terms of the angles in our pattern? Color all angles that must be equal the same color.


c. Are any lines parallel in the pattern? Mark all lines on your diagram with the same number of arrows to show which lines are parallel.

Homework: Relax! ½ day tomorrow[and feel extremely fortunate that for ONE night

this semester, you do not have math homework]

Day 23: March 1st

Homework: Problems 4-11 to 4-14 [Note: These are classwork problems]

Day 24: March 5th

Objective: Connect specific slope ratios to their related angles and use this information to find missing sides or angles of right triangles with 11°, 22°, 18°, or 45° angles (and their complements).
