Product description
From the author
My students have always understood sequences of transformations by simple test practice and I hope yours will feel more confident after practicing several types of sequences of transformation problems!
This resource was developed to provide students with extra practice when meeting the requirements of the 8th Grade Geometry Standards below:
CCSS.math.content.8.g.a.2
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
CCSS.math.content.8.g.a.4
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will identify which sequence of rotations, reflections and translations proves two figures congruent.
Students will identify which sequence of rotations, reflections, translations and dilations proves two figures similar.
Students will calculate a resulting angle measure, side length or radius after applying a stated sequence of transformations.
Teaching tips
Choose task cards for movement-based review or the continuous worksheet for seated practice.
Use questions 12–15 for measurement reasoning and question 16 to return to congruence.
Ask students to explain transformation order rather than relying on a selected letter.
Skills covered
Recognizing rigid transformation sequences
Recognizing similarity involving dilation
Calculating measurements after transformations
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How do the two formats differ?
The same sixteen questions appear as task cards and a continuous worksheet. Both have letter-answer keys; the keys do not supply worked solutions.
