Standard

Not Met (NM)

HSG.CO.B.7 Use the definition

of congruence in terms of rigid
motions to show that two
triangles are congruent if and
only if corresponding pairs of
sides and corresponding pairs
of angles are congruent

Developing (D)

Question 1: Students
definition does not include
the term equal or same.
Students definition does not
provide evidence that
congruent refers to a
geometric shape.

HSG.SRT.A.2 Given two

figures, use the definition of
similarity in terms of similarity
transformations to decide if
they are similar; explain using
similarity transformations the
meaning of similarity for
triangles as the equality of all
corresponding pairs of angles
and the proportionality of all
corresponding pairs of sides

Question 3: Student
incorrectly identifies
congruent shapes, or does
not identify congruent
shapes. Student does not
provide an accurate
explanation of congruence
as stated in requirements for
Question 1.

Student has met the

standard on either Question
1 or 3, but not both.

Question 1: Student includes

equality as congruence or
refers to geometric shapes,
but not both

Question 1: Students
definition does not include
any reference to ratio.
Students definition does not
provide evidence that similar
refers to the same geometric
shapes, but different sizes.

Question 3: Student
incorrectly identifies similar
shapes, or does not identify
similar shapes. Student does
not provide an accurate
explanation of similarity as
stated in requirements for
Question 1.

Question 3: Student correctly

identifies congruent shapes,
but does not provide an
accurate explanation.

Student has met the

standard on either Question
1 or 3, but not both.
Question 1: Student includes
the idea of ratio or evidence
of the same geometric shape
with different sizes, but not
both

Question 3: Student correctly

identifies similar shapes, but
does not provide an accurate
explanation.

Question 3: Student correctly

identifies congruent shapes.

from the definition of
congruence in terms of rigid
motions.
