Facilitator: At the end of this
Powerpoint, you will find a
link to an anonymous brief
e-survey that will help us
understand how the module
is being used and how well it
worked in your setting.
We hope you will help us
grow and improve our NCSM
resources!

Today’s Goals
• Explore the Standards for Content and
Practice through video of classroom practice
• Consider how the Common Core State
Standards (CCSS) are likely to impact your
mathematics program and plan next steps
In particular, participants will
• Examine congruence and similarity defined
through transformations
• Examine the use of precise language, viable
arguments, appropriate tools, and geometric structure

Standards for Mathematical Content
Here is an excerpt from the 8th Grade Standards:
1 Verify experimentally the properties of rotations,
reflections, and translations:
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.
3 Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and
reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.
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.

Discussion
• Construct a viable argument
to explain why those
rectangles are similar.
• Which definition of similarity
guided your strategy, and
how did it do so?
• What tools did you choose
to use? How did they help
you?

Unpacking Randy’s Method
• What did Randy do? (What was his
method?)
• Why might we argue that Randy’s concept
than static?
• What mathematical practices does he
employ?
– What mathematical argument is he using?
– What tools does he use? How does he use them
strategically?
– How precise is he in communicating his reasoning?
