Similar? Congruent? - Shannon : Grade Commentary
Shannon has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of congruence and similarity. Tests have been applied to identify similar and congruent triangles, and there is evidence that Shannon understands that congruency is a condition for similarity. The diagrams lack sufficient detail but geometric reasoning has been attempted and appropriate mathematical language has been used. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C6 standard at the end of Stage 5.
