Description

Congruent, Similar, or Neither - Practice / Review:

This activity will help your students practice identifying congruent and similar figures based on a variety of different given input information. They will decide whether each set of information represents a pair of similar figures, a pair of congruent figures, or neither. The 40 cards contain a mix of diagrams, figures on a coordinate plane, and word explanations. (Students must already know triangle sum theorem, basic transformations, properties of polygons, and the criteria for congruent and similar.)

Here is what's included:

- 3 quick - fold pockets to hold sorted cards

- 40 sorting cards (mix of diagrams, figures on a coordinate plane, and word explanations)

- 3 "answer cards" that list which cards should be in each pocket

- optional "sorting mat" to offer an alternative format (great for group work or learning stations)

Students will cut out and sort the cards into the correct pocket. The pockets fit well on an interactive notebook page.

Then, hand out the answer/check cards. After students have verified that their cards were sorted correctly, the answer cards can be tucked into the back of each pocket. Students can re-do the activity as a review at any time.

Used with my Honors Geometry class to help reinforce and separate the concepts of congruence and similarity because high school students still get the two mixed up. There are some questions about transformations, perimeter, etc. that we haven't specifically covered this year but students should have enough background information to be able to figure out. I had my students work in groups of 2-3 to complete.

I printed these cards and sent them my students who are in special education. I feel that even during digital learning, they need paper in hand to manipulate! Math Giraffe has a ton of useful resources, including Doodle Notes, that have been a lifesaver for all of my students, but particularly my special education students.

Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.
