What Does "Same Shape" Mean?
Shapes are everywhere!
When we say two shapes are the same, it means they match perfectly if you could pick one up and place it
on top of the other. They might be different sizes or colors, but their form is identical!
How to Tell if Shapes Are the Same
1️⃣ Look at the sides - Count how many sides each shape has
2️⃣ Check the angles - See if the corners look the same
3️⃣ Imagine flipping - Would they match if you flipped one over?
