Geometric Transformations and Congruence Practice Set for Grade 8
A practice packet for 8th graders covering translations, reflections, and rotations and how each preserves congruence. Students work through key vocabulary like pre-image, image, and congruent, then complete a comparison table on whether each transformation keeps orientation the same. Designed for a 45-minute math block or as independent practice after a lesson on rigid motions.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as guided practice after introducing congruence and the three rigid transformations, starting with the Key Terms section so students have shared vocabulary before working problems.
- Discussion question: Why does a reflection change orientation while a translation does not, even though both preserve congruence?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students physically trace the pre-image on tracing paper and move or flip it to see the transformation before filling in the table.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to determine a sequence of transformations that maps one congruent figure onto another and justify why the composition still preserves congruence.
- Estimated time: about 45 minutes for the full set, including the table and discussion.
