60-second Quick Read

  • design, create and test algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that identify congruency or similarity of shapes, and describe how the algorithm works
  • Example: listing the properties or criteria necessary to determine if shapes are similar or congruent
  • Common trap: using the conditions for congruence of triangles and similarity of triangles to develop a sorting algorithm; for example, creating a flow chart
