design, create and test algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that identify congruency or similarity of shapes, and describe how the algorithm works

Elaborations

• AC9M8SP04_E1 - listing the properties or criteria necessary to determine if shapes are similar or congruent
• AC9M8SP04_E2 - using the conditions for congruence of triangles and similarity of triangles to develop a sorting algorithm; for example, creating a flow chart
• AC9M8SP04_E3 - evaluating algorithms for accuracy in classifying and distinguishing between similar and congruent triangles

Achievement Standard Components

• ASMAT814 - They identify conditions for congruency and similarity in shapes and create and test algorithms designed to test for congruency and similarity.
