Note-taking is an essential part of learning Geometry! Guided notes provide the benefit of note-taking without the time it takes for students to write everything on their paper.

These quick Geometry guided notes contain a general overview or guide for all concepts from the Rigid Motion and Congruence unit. The printables can be used as a stand-alone resource or can supplement existing notebooks.

Use the guided notes as an introduction to new geometry skills. They consist of vocabulary, graphic organizers, models, examples, and guided practice.

To save you time, there is no cutting or folding required! If you need the pages to print smaller (to fit in a composition notebook), you can reduce the size when you print.

Essential Skills from this unit:

• understand congruence as it relates to rigid motion and congruent corresponding parts
• understand the idea of rigid motion vs. non-rigid motion with and without the coordinate plane
• identify translations, reflections, and rotations of points, segments, and polygons
• perform translations on a coordinate plane with coordinate and vector notation
• perform reflections across x-axis, y-axis, y = x, y = -x, and other vertical and horizontal lines
• perform rotations about the origin and non-origin points in multiples of 90°
• perform compositions of transformations
• identify corresponding parts
• write congruence statements
• determine congruence based on definitions of congruence
• prove whether triangles are congruent and whether their corresponding parts are congruent
