Understanding Congruent Shapes

What does it mean for two shapes to be congruent?

• They have the same shape and size.

• They have the same color.

• They are both circles.

• They are both large.

What action should you perform when you hear the word 'shape'?

• Make a triangle with your hands.

• Make a circle with your hands.

• Make a square with your hands.

• Make a rectangle with your hands.

If two shapes are the same shape but different sizes, are they congruent?

• Yes, they are congruent.

• No, they are not congruent.

• Only if they are both triangles.

• Only if they are both squares.

What tool can be used to create shapes and test for congruence?

• A ruler

• A compass

• A protractor

• A geoboard

What is the purpose of using a geoboard in this lesson?

• To draw circles

• To create and test congruent shapes

• To measure angles

• To calculate area

How can you make sure your shape is congruent to another on a geoboard?

• By using the same color rubber bands

• By making it the same shape and size

• By placing it in the same position

• By using the same number of pegs

What happens if two rectangles are the same shape and size but oriented differently?

• They are congruent.

• They are similar.

• They are not congruent.

• They are identical.

What is the key test for determining if two shapes are congruent?

• They must be the same shape and size.

• They must be the same color.

• They must be the same material.

• They must be the same weight.

What should you do if your shape does not match the example on the geoboard?

• Use more pegs.

• Adjust the shape to match the size and shape.

• Change the color of the rubber bands.

• Start over with a new shape.

What is the main takeaway from the lesson on congruent shapes?

• Shapes must be colorful to be congruent.

• Shapes must be drawn on paper to be congruent.

• Shapes must be the same shape and size to be congruent.

• Shapes must be large to be congruent.
