Today we learned about congruent figures. Congruent figures are exactly the same, they are the exact same size and the exact same shape. Sometimes the sames are just in different positions so they do not look like they are the same. It just takes turning or flipping the shape to make it look the same.
Some of you missed class during 1st and 3rd hours when you were at choir practice. Don't worry, Wednesday during Inspire I will be teaching section 7-5.
