Virginia Standards of Learning Grade 6, 7, and 8:

6.14 The student will identify, classify, and describe the characteristics of plane figures, describing their similarities, differences, and defining properties.

7.9 The student will compare and contrast the following quadrilaterals: parallelogram, rectangle, square, rhombus, and trapezoid. Deductive reasoning and inference will be used to classify quadrilaterals.

8.8 The student will apply transformations (rotate or turn, reflect or flip, translate or slide, and dilate or scale) to geometric figures represented on graph paper. The student will identify applications of transformations, such as tiling, fabric design, art, and scaling.
