Practice Identifying Congruent Shapes for Class 2

A simple example of congruent shapes is two identical square biscuits from the same packet. They are congruent because they have the exact same shape and size.

• Two brand new pencils of the same company.
• Two one-rupee coins.
• The pages of a new notebook.
• These are all examples of congruent figures that you can find in daily life.

To identify congruent shapes, you need to visually compare the figures in each question to find pairs that are identical in every way. This worksheet provides activities like 'circle the matching shapes' to help you practice.

• Step 1: Look at the first shape and notice its form (e.g., triangle, circle).
• Step 2: Observe its size (e.g., big, small, wide).
• Step 3: Find another shape that is a perfect match in both size and form, even if it is rotated or flipped.

The main difference is that congruent shapes are exactly the same in size and shape, while similar shapes only have the same shape but can be different sizes.

• Congruent Shapes: Think of two identical toy cars from the same set. They are a perfect match.
• Similar Shapes: Think of a real car and its small toy model. They have the same shape, but their sizes are very different.

This worksheet helps Class 2 students develop important foundational skills in geometry and logical thinking.

• Spatial Reasoning Skills: Understanding how shapes and objects relate to each other.
• Visual Recognition: The ability to quickly spot similarities and differences.
• Attention to Detail: Learning to look closely at size and shape to find an exact match.
• Basic Geometry Concepts: Reinforcing the properties of shapes learned in grade 2 geometry.

You can use this worksheet as a fun and effective practice tool to support your child's learning in Class 2 Maths.

• First, download the free PDF worksheet and print it out.
• Explain the instructions, using the solved example to show how to identify congruent shapes.
• Encourage your child to complete the exercises for homework practice or holiday revision.
• It works as a great visual maths activity to keep them engaged.

Yes, many objects we see every day are congruent, which means they are identical in size and shape.

• A pair of identical earrings.
• The two front wheels of a bicycle.
• Floor tiles that are all the same pattern and size.
• The identical buttons on a shirt.

This worksheet uses simple, picture-based exercises that make the concept of congruence easy for a Grade 2 student to understand and practice.

• It provides clear visual examples of congruent pairs.
• Activities like matching and circling help students actively engage in identifying congruent figures.
• The core idea of 'same size and shape' is repeated to reinforce the definition.
• It builds a strong foundation for future topics in grade 2 geometry.
