Collinear Points (Definition Prompt) APS

Warm Up--See below:
Questions:[br][br]1) After seeing what you now see, what does it mean for points to be non-collinear? [br]2) Consider [b]only 2 points[/b] [b]A[/b] and [b]B[/b]. Is it ever possible for [b]A[/b] & [b]B[/b] to be non-collinear? Why or why not? Explain.

Exploring Rotations (Intervals of 90 degrees only) APS

Rotations
When Rotating points 90 degrees CCW, describe how the corresponding point move with regard to the center of rotation.
When Rotating points 180 degrees CCW, describe how the corresponding point move with regard to the center of rotation.

Exploration: Rotating A Figure Onto Itself APS

How many times did the triangle map onto itself during the course of the 360 degree rotation?
What is the minimum number of degrees for the triangle to be mapped onto itself?
How many times did the square map onto itself during the course of the 360 degree rotation?
What is the minimum number of degrees for the square to be mapped onto itself?
How many times did the pentagon map onto itself during the 360 degree rotation?
What is the minimum number of degrees in order for the pentagon to map onto itself?
Using all of the above data, can you produce a formula that would find the minimum number of degrees needed in order for any regular polygon to be mapped onto itself?

Transformations and Parallel Lines APS

This applet lets you explore congruent angles formed by parallel lines with transformations.
1) Are the lines parallel? How do you know?[br]2) Drag points B and C to show that lines remain parallel.[br]3) Click “Step 1.” What transformation maps <HBD onto <H’BD’? [br] a) 180o Rotation b) Reflection c) Translation[br]4) Click “Step 2.” What transformation maps <D’BH’ onto <D”CH”?[br]a) 180o Rotation b) Reflection c) Translation[br]5) Click “Step 3.” What transformation maps <D”CH” onto <D’’’CH’’’?[br]6) a) 180o Rotation b) Reflection c) Translation[br]7) Drag points B and C to show that angles remain congruent. Drag points D and H to show that the transformations maintain congruence.[br]EXAMPLE: Write a paragraph proof. Prove that <1 is congruent to <3 using transformations.[br]A 180o Rotation maps <1 onto <2 therefore <1 <2. A translation maps <2 onto <3 therefore <2 <3. By transitive property <1 s congruent to <3.[br]8) Write a paragraph proof, using transformations, proving <2 s congruent to <4.

Show that A is congruent to B by transforming A to B in a combination of transformations.
Congruence Transformation 2

SAS - Exercise 1A APS

In the applet below, use the tools of transformational geometry to informally demonstrate the SAS Triangle Theorem to be true. [br][br]That is, use the tools of transformational geometry to map the [color=#bf9000][b]yellow triangle[/b][/color] onto the empty triangle. [br][br]Before starting, feel free to adjust any aspect of the [color=#bf9000][b]starting triangle[/b][/color] ([color=#666666][b]tilt[/b][/color], [color=#1e84cc][b]size of the included angle[/b][/color], [b]and the positions of points [/b][i]A[/i][b], [/b][i]B[/i][b], and [/b][i]C[/i]). You can also use the [b]black slider[/b] to [b]change the position of the image (empty) triangle.[/b] [br][br][i]Once you do start, it is recommended that you don't readjust these parameters. [/i]
Question:
Describe how you know the two triangle are congruent.

Copying a Segment APS

Dahlia Zermeno Copy a segment
Copying a Segment
Follow the steps below to copy segment [i]AB[/i]:[br][br]1. Use the line tool to construct line [i]m[/i] below segment [i]AB[/i][br][br]2. Use the point tool to construct point [i]E[/i] on line [i]m[/i]. Right click on the point to show its label.[br][br]3. Use the Compass tool to measure the length of segment [i]AB[/i], then click on Point [i]E[/i] to center the Compass tool at that point. [br][br]4. Construct Point [i]F[/i] at an intersection of line [i]m[/i] and the circle you just constructed.[br][br]5. Hide everything in your sketch (right-click, Show Object) [b]except[/b] for Points [i]A[/i], [i]B[/i], [i]E[/i] and [i]F[/i] and segment [i]AB[/i]. [br][br]6. Use the Segment tool to construct segment [i]EF[/i]. [br][br]7. Drag things around in your sketch and observe what happens.
