Similar and Congruent Triangles

After reviewing characteristics of seven types of triangles, young geometers discover how to find the missing angle of a triangle. Then, they practice identifying triangles, find missing angles, and find missing side lengths of similar...

What can symmetry tell us about triangles? After looking at four examples, learners will come to realize that lines of symmetry are different for equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. Use this guided practice activity as an...

It's frog party time! With frog banners, frog juice, and a triangle hunt, your garden party is sure to be both entertaining and educational. The lesson connects geometry, earth science, and delicious snacks to teach kids about ecosystems...

Try five problems on triangles. Levels A and B focus on shapes that can be created from right triangles. Level C touches upon the relationship between the area of a six-pointed star and the area of each triangle of which it is composed....

With so many different types of triangles, it can be a challenge for young mathematicians to keep them all straight. Luckily this set of printable triangles is here to engage children in comparing and sorting triangles by their...

Cut apart 16 cards with 8 congruent pairs of geometric shapes, then have your class match the cards which show congruent shapes. There are no directions or information on the page so use your imagination to create a fun activity. Tip:...

In need of a fun way to define an isosceles triangle? This activity has learners fold a paper in half and then cut it to create an isosceles triangle. They determine the line of symmetry by folding the triangle in half and then use the...

That's correct, it is right and scalene. The video introduces the two methods for classifying triangles, sides, and angles. A resource in the playlist for basic geometry provides the definitions for each of the classifications.

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.
