Geometers explore symmetries of isosceles triangles by using rigid transformations of the plane. They complete four tasks, including congruence proofs, which illustrate the relationship between congruence and rigid transformations. The activity requires a thorough understanding of the definition of reflection about a line and is better suited for more sophisticated geometry students.
