Teaching guide

What students learn

Identify the conditions for triangles and other common shapes to be congruent or similar, including shapes formed by transformations.

How to teach it

Sort and name 2D and 3D shapes by their properties (sides, angles, faces), then build up to perimeter (add the sides) and area (cover with unit squares).

Worked example
Rectangle 2 cm by 15 cm. Area = ___ sq cm
Answer: 30

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Confusing perimeter and area, and judging a shape by its orientation rather than its properties.
