Talk it over with a partner (no need to write, just
brainstorm)
Slides, flips, and turns
Congruent figures have the same size and shape. When
two figures are congruent, they can be moved so that
they fit exactly on top of each other. Examples of
movements:
Slides
Flips
Turns
Congruent Polygons
Congruent polygons have congruent corresponding
parts aka matching sides and angles.
Sides and angles must match up after flipped,
turned, or slid.
Order is critical!!

angles
