About This Kit

This FAST Success Kit is designed to help Grade 8 students master transformations before taking the Florida FAST assessment. All content is aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. Standards.

Standards Covered:

MA.8.GR.2.1 - Given a preimage and image, describe the transformation and use coordinate notation
MA.8.GR.2.2 - Use the properties of translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations to solve problems
MA.8.GR.2.3 - Describe and apply the effect of a sequence of transformations on a figure

Key Concepts: Translations (slides), reflections (flips), rotations (turns), dilations (scale), rigid transformations, congruence, similarity, coordinate notation
