Study Buddies: Congruent Figures
For this math worksheet, students will work with a coach to determine which shapes (in a box of shapes) are congruent. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.
Curated OER
Rep Tiles
Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...
