Students will identify congruent polygons.
Students will identify two-dimensional shapes composed of congruent polygons.
Content Limits :
Items may include concave and convex polygons with 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 10 sides.
Items should use the correct geometric term with common terminology set in parentheses, i.e., reflection (flip).
Items may assess the following terms: symmetry, reflection, and/or congruent.
Transformations may be used in graphics; however, the transformations needed to compose or decompose polygons (rotations, translations, dilations) will not be assessed.
