Transforming Congruent Figures: Pretest

Are congruent shapes compatible? Congruent shapes are identical to one another, and throughout the assessment, young mathematicians identify given shapes as congruent.

In this congruent figures activity, students answer 6 fill in the blank questions where they examine a pair of figures and determine if the figures in each pair are congruent or not congruent.

Find out what your mathematicians know about similar and congruent figures with this anticipatory guide that includes five agree or disagree with statements.    

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 lesson then prompts...

Provide an introduction to translations and the notation used to denote a translation on the coordinate plane. An independent practice portion provides the pupils several opportunities to practice the skill of translations along with...

Apply geometric properties and formulae for surface area and volume by constructing a three-dimensional model of a city. Learners use similar and congruent figures and transformations to create a city of at least 10 buildings. They trade...

In this transformations worksheet, learners complete multiple choice questions about the transformations of congruent figures. They complete 10 problems.

There is more to congruency than just looking similar. Learn the difference and calculate the matching angles and sides to prove the congruence between figures. Lesson has step-by-step slides and follows with an assessment. 

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.

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...
