Note from the author:
A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Solve It! Suppose that you want to create two identical wings for a model airplane. You draw one wing on a large sheet of tracing paper, fold it along the dashed line, and then tract the first wing. How do you know that the two wings are identical?
