In Tutero's lessons on congruence, students learn about the exact correspondence in shape and size between two geometric figures. Through interactive tools and practical tasks, students explore how to determine if two shapes are congruent using transformations and by comparing their sides and angles
This lesson plan on congruence includes enabling prompts to assist students in understanding the concept of congruence in basic geometric figures, complemented by extending prompts for those prepared to apply congruence criteria to prove geometric theorems and solve complex problems. This approach ensures that students gain a robust understanding of how congruence underpins many aspects of geometry.

Tutero’s congruence exercise sheets teach students about the concept of congruence through activities that involve comparing objects, designing matching shapes for art projects, or ensuring components fit in manufacturing. These tasks illustrate how congruence is used in various fields such as manufacturing, art, and design, providing students with a clear and practical understanding of this fundamental geometric principle.

Understanding Congruence
Starting with the basic concept of congruence in simple geometric shapes, students learn criteria for congruence in polygons, especially triangles. They use congruence to discuss symmetry and equality in shapes. By Year 5, they apply congruence to solve complex geometric problems, understanding its implications in proofs and constructions.
Congruence in Geometric Shapes
Early learning involves identifying congruent shapes in different orientations. Students explore the conditions under which two shapes are congruent, focusing on side-lengths and angles. By Year 5, they use congruence to analyse and solve problems in geometry, such as finding missing dimensions and understanding shape properties.
Demonstrating Congruence
Students practice demonstrating congruence through physical models and geometric constructions. They explore transformations that preserve congruence and apply these concepts to prove congruence in geometric scenarios. By Year 5, they proficiently demonstrate congruence in complex geometrical designs and proofs, applying their skills in academic and real-world settings.
