Everything the class knows about similarity in one small package. The last portion of a 16-part series is a three-question assessment. In it, pupils demonstrate their application of similar figures and their associated...

Shakespeare was such a talented writer, but why? It must be his use of figurative language, blended with his clever, twisting plots. This worksheet focuses on his use of metaphor, simile, personification, oxymoron, and hyperbole within...

In this similar figure worksheet, students use similar figures and indirect measurement to determine distance.  They use proportions of similar figures to determine scale figures.  This two-page worksheet contains 8...

Learners explore scale factor as they create a scale drawing of a box, then determine the surface area and volume of the original and the scale drawing. The one page worksheet contains activities and procedures with four questions....

In this similarity learning exercise, students use the characteristics of similar figures to determine the length of one side of a polygon, the height of a tree, or the shortest side of a triangle. They also identify similar figures. ...

Review for the test with a comprehensive list of terms and concepts for the unit on congruence and similarity. It divides divides the sections in the order of the lessons presented during the unit. 

Tie the unit together and see concepts click in your young mathematicians' minds. Scholars apply the properties of similar triangles to find heights of objects. They concentrate on the proportions built with known measures and solve to...

Learners consider a set of questions to determine a series of transformations that will move one figure to another. Once the series is determined, the pupil then determines whether the pre-image and image are either congruent...

A pre-test contains questions about transformations that lead to congruent and similar images. It also covers angle relationships associated with triangles and parallel lines intersected by a transversal. 

In this similar polygons worksheet, students identify the corresponding sides of polygons.  They use proportions to solve problems.  Students determine the scale factor of similar figures.  This two-page worksheet contains...

In this congruent and similar figures learning exercise, students review three steps to help them determine if figures are congruent, similar, or neither. Students then study the pairs of shapes and determine if they are congruent,...

Double the dimensions, quadruple the surface area. Pairs build similar prisms and compare the ratios of their surface areas and volumes to the ratio of the heights. Given two similar cones, partners determine the ratios of the lateral...

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.

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.

Rigid motions are to congruence as what are to similarity? Investigate properties of rigid motions and define congruence in terms of rigid motions with the ninth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series. The...

In this similar figures worksheet, students find the missing side of the larger figure when the smaller figure's sides are given. Students complete 4 problems.

In this exploring similar polygons worksheet, 10th graders solve 9 various problems that are related to similar polygons. First, they define similar and the symbol used to identify similar to another. Then, students find the measurement...

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students analyze similar shapes and find the missing length using a proportion. There are no examples.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that geometric shapes are everywhere in the world around us. As they complete this shape identification worksheet, young mathematicians realize that many common real-life...

In this problem solving activity, learners solve a variety of problems.  Problems include topics such as rate, time, similar figures, volume, and functions.  This one-page activity contains ten multiple-choice problems. ...

In this similar triangles learning exercise, students solve 20 short answer problems. Students determine if two given triangles are similar.  Students determine the type of similarity given two triangles. Students are given a sketch...

Pupils investigate similar triangles and proportions as they make conjectures about the length of sides of similar triangles. For this activity, have your class construct similar triangles using Cabri Jr so that they share a common vertex.

Develop a more precise definition of similar. The instructional activity begins with an informal definition of similar figures and develops the need to be more precise. The class learns about dilations and uses that knowledge to...

Students explore the relationships between similar figures. In this relationships between similar figures lesson, students discuss relationships between perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume of similar figures through...
