Explore step by step how to determine if figures are congruent?

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of congruent and similar figures. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the "Check...

In this task, we are told that two triangles share two sets of congruent sides and one pair of congruent angles and that these two triangles must be congruent based on the reasoning given. Students are asked to analyze this reasoning to...

In this task, a student has learned the SSS and SAS congruence tests for triangles and wonders if these tests might work for parallelograms. Aligns with G-CO.C.11 and G-SRT.B.5

Students, teachers, and parents alike will enjoy this challenging math site. It contains a clever brain teaser section plus creative problems related to algebra, geometry, measurement, numbers, statistics, and probability. A Spanish...

This site from Dr. Math at the Math Forum provides a collection of problems and exercises that require knowledge of the relations between similar or congruent shapes. Solutions are provided.

In this lesson plan on transformations and congruence, 8th graders will investigate dilations, rotations, reflections, and translations on the coordinate plane and the figures that result from these transformations.

The resource investigates congruent shapes. Examples and definitions are included.

Quadrilaterals-parallelograms, rectangles, and trapezoids-are thoroughly introduced in this lesson plan for upper elementary and middle school students. Lots of resources are linked to it to help support the teacher and students....

This site from The Math Forum is a great site if you are looking for activities to engage your students in learning about line symmetry. Peruse this collection of activities for one or two or four that would be right for your students....

Given distinct, congruent triangles, young scholars are asked to show that congruence can always be shown with one, two, or three rigid motions. Aligns with G-CO.A.5.

Given two congruent triangles, students are asked to analyze the effects of different transformations. Aligns with G-CO.A.5.

This tutorial explains what similar figures are in geometry and provides examples.

Given a pair of figures in the coordinate plane, try to map one onto the other and determine whether they are congruent. Includes examples of glide reflections. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...

Students learn about transformations. Topics explored are resizing, types of transformations, and congruent shapes. Examples and definitions are included.

For students who have ever played dominoes and Tetris, polyominoes will strike them as a great deal of fun. Teachers will see the educational benefits of working with similar and congruent shapes and rotating them in a plane. Exploration...

This tutorial features several examples of symmetric figures to explain how the line of symmetry works.

Brush up on your math skills relating to similarity then try some practice problems to test your understanding.

A collection of diagrams that complement Mathematics 8, a Grade 8 Math text, have been posted here. The diagrams were created using The Geometer's Sketchpad,

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn how to translate a figure. They examine guided notes, review examples, watch instructional videos, and try practice problems.

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...

In this set of questions, students practice identifying side-side-side similarity among triangles. Includes hints.

Models how to write a similarity statement about different types of triangles and quadrilaterals.

In this lesson, students will learn how to describe and identify reflections, rotations, translations, and dilations.
