Use definitions to demonstrate congruency and similarity in figures.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Match sides on two congruent triangles using manipulatives.
  • Match angles on two congruent triangles using manipulatives.
Representation:
  • Match sides on two congruent triangles using pictures or geometry software.
  • Match angles on two congruent triangles using pictures or geometry software.

Number: MAFS.912.G-CO.2.AP.7a Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 05/14 Cluster: Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions. (Geometry - Major Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
