Instructional Ideas

• Prior to starting a unit about congruent and similar figures, give scholars the survey to determine what they already know and what needs to be addressed
• After completing a geometry unit on congruency and similarities, direct learners to take the survey to find out if reteaching is necessary 
• To save paper and highlight what knowledge was obtained, use the same survey before and after the corresponding unit

Classroom Considerations

• Copies are required
• Preview the questions to confirm whether or not the guide follows your instruction 
• If using the same survey after the unit, instruct class members to write with a different color pen 

Pros

• This pre and post assessment does not take up much time and provides plenty of information about your class' knowledge of similar and congruent figures 

Cons

• None
