Ratios and Proportions with Congruent and Similar Polygons
Investigate how similar and congruent figures compare. Learners understand congruent figures have congruent sides and angles, but similar figures only have congruent angles — their sides are proportional. After learning the...

Are All Parabolas Similar?
Congruence and similarity apply to functions as well as polygons. Learners examine the effects of transformations on the shape of parabolas. They determine the transformation(s) that produce similar and congruent functions.

Properties of Congruence: Polygon Party
Don't let congruent figures drag you down. Young mathematicians use an interactive to drag figures onto one another to determine if the figures are congruent.

Properties of Congruence: Congruent Figures
No two resources are exactly the same, but polygons can be. Scholars match congruent figures by dragging them together in an interactive. They answer some challenge questions that justify their matches.

Tile Patterns II: Hexagons
After learning that the sum of interior angles for triangles is 108 degrees, take it further to show that the sum of angles in any polygon is the same! Using hexagons, pupils practice finding the measure of the six congruent angles. Make...

What Are Similarity Transformations, and Why Do We Need Them?
It's time for your young artists to shine! Learners examine images to determine possible similarity transformations. They then provide a sequence of transformations that map one image to the next, or give an explanation why it is...

Khan Academy: Similarity and Transformations
Given two polygons, try to map one onto the other using angle-preserving transformations, and determine whether they are similar. Transformations are done in "intuitive mode." Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity...
