Identify triangles and rectangles that are the same shape and size (congruent) and same shape, but not same size (similar) using physical and visual models.
Number: MA.912.G.2.In.c Category: Independent
Date Adopted or Revised: 09/07 Standard: Polygons : Identify and describe polygons (triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, etc.), using terms such as regular, convex, and concave. Find measures of angles, sides, perimeters, and areas of polygons, justifying the methods used. Apply transformations to polygons. Relate geometry to algebra by using coordinate geometry to determine transformations. Use algebraic reasoning to determine congruence, similarity, and symmetry. Create and verify tessellations of the plane using polygons.
