Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Congruent Figures! Congruent means "exactly the same" in shape and size. You can slide, flip, or turn one figure to perfectly match the other. Ready to become a Congruence Detective? Let’s go! 🚀
🧠 What Does Congruent Mean?
Two figures are congruent if they have:
- The exact same shape
- The exact same size
You can move them (slide, flip, or rotate) and they will match perfectly!
These two triangles are congruent!
🔍 How to Check if Figures are Congruent
1. Check all sides are the same length
2. Check all angles are the same size
3. See if one can be flipped or turned to match the other
🎯 Are These Congruent?
1. Two rectangles both 6 cm long and 4 cm wide
2. A square with side 5 cm and a rectangle 5 cm by 5 cm
3. Two triangles with sides 3,4,5 and 3,4,6

You are a Congruence Champion! 🎉🥳
Kashef is super proud of you! You can now tell when figures are congruent.
Congruent figures help us understand symmetry and build strong structures — you're thinking like a real geometer!
