Using diagram markings and given information, students will practice determining whether triangles are similar using Side-Side-Side Similarity (SSS~), Side-Angle-Side Similarity (SAS~), or Angle-Angle Similarity (AA~).
Simply give each student the diagram sheet and template. This Similar Triangles (SSS~, SAS~, and AA~) Cut & Paste Activity is a cut and paste activity in which students practice identifying similar triangles. Students cut out the 16 diagrams, determine whether the triangles are similar, identify the postulate or theorem that proves similarity, and determine the correct similarity statement. They then paste each diagram in the correct location on the template using the row and column headings.
Because students must correctly match both the similarity method and similarity statement, there is only one correct solution to the activity. Each diagram is numbered, making completed student work quick and easy to check.
