Congruence and similarity

This 8th-grade math resource helps students practice identifying and applying transformations such as reflection, translation, and rotation through a sequence of questions. Students analyze the effects of each transformation on figures and distinguish between congruent and similar shapes.

Questions

  1. Which transformation always preserves both the size and the shape of a figure?
  2. Which of the following transformations will always result in a figure congruent to the original?
  3. Put these transformations in the order that would map triangle ABC onto triangle A'B'C' if ABC is reflected over the y-axis, then translated 3 units up, then rotated 90° clockwise about the origin.
  4. Match each transformation to its effect on a figure.
  5. Fill in the blanks: Two figures are _ if they have the same size and shape, and they are _ if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
  6. A _ is a transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point, while a _ changes the size of a figure but not its shape.
  7. Sort the following transformations into 'Rigid Motions' (preserve size and shape) and 'Non-Rigid Motions' (do not preserve size and shape).
  8. For each statement, indicate whether it is true or false.
  9. A rectangle has a length of 6 units and a width of 4 units. After a dilation with a scale factor of 1.5, what is the new length?
  10. What is the term for a transformation that flips a figure over a line?
