Congruence

Title/Lesson: Measurement

SOL#: 6.15
The student will determine congruence of segments, angles, and polygons by direct comparison, given their attributes. Examples of non-congruent and congruent figures will be included.


Curriculum Frameworks Page Number: 24

Essential Knowledge:
The student will use problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, connections, and representations to:
• Characterize polygons as congruent and non-congruent according to the measures of their sides and angles.
• Determine the congruence of segments, angles, and polygons by direct comparison, given their attributes.
Essential Vocabulary:
Congruent – same size, same shape

Non-congruent - different shapes and sizes

Polygons – any closed shapes

Comparison -

Similar – nearly, but not exactly the same or alike

Objective: TSW/TTL:

6.15.1 Characterize polygons as congruent and non congruent according to the measures of their sides and angles.


Set:
Using the Promethean board, the students will have to organize shapes based on their attributes. Some shapes will be open to show ir-regular shapes.




Procedure/Input:
TTW have students find congruent shapes by using patty paper. The shapes will be given in a regular and reduced size. The patty paper will help the students decide if the shapes are congruent or similar. TSW complete P 524, #1-6.

DIFFERENTIATED ACTIVITY:

Group A – Teacher Guided Remediation Group B-Independent
TTW give the students more examples to use with the patty paper.
P 536 #9-22




Eval:
Check class work for understanding.

Clo:
How does patty paper help us determine congruent or similar shapes?


Materials:
Text, Overhead, White board, grid paper, patty paper.
