Congruence of regular geometric shapes

This activity involves in identifying the congruent shapes among the shapes of different geometric shapes.

Objectives

To understand congruence in different geometric elements and shapes

Estimated Time

15 minutes

Prerequisites/Instructions, prior preparations, if any

Prior knowledge of point, lines, angles, parallel lines

Materials/ Resources needed

• Digital : Computer, geogebra application, projector.
• Non digital : Worksheet and pencil.
• Geogebra files : “Congruence Introduction different shapes.ggb”

Process (How to do the activity)

• For each set of shapes the following can be discussed
• What are these shapes?
• Which among them are exactly same?
• How can you say that they are congruent?

Evaluation:

• Students should understand when two shapes coincide then they are congruent
• Students should be able to identify for each of the shapes which parameter determines congruence
