Motivational Strategies
1. Indicate a void in students’ knowledge.
2. Present a challenge.
3. Show a sequential achievement.
4. Indicate a usefulness of a topic.
5. Use recreational mathematics.
6. Tell a pertinent story.
7. Get students involved in justifying mathematical curiosity.
8. Use teacher-made or commercially prepared materials

Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size are similar, i.e. different sizes
![Page 20: Our Teaching Package CONTENTS Teaching theories adopted & motivation strategies Congruency & its proof Similarity Applications of similarity & congruency](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cee5503460f949bc50a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Similar Figures
Similar figures have same shapes and different sizes.
Two figures are similar if you can rotate,
translate and/or reflect one of them so that it can be enlarged or reduced onto another.

Similar Figures
The conventional definition:For two figures to be similar,
1. Corresponding angles are equal
2. Corresponding sides are proportional.

Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size are similar.
(congruent figures are special case of similar figures)

Applications of Similarity
Indirect measurement
Finding areas and volumes of similar objects
Finding unknown sides and angles of similar triangles
![Page 28: Our Teaching Package CONTENTS Teaching theories adopted & motivation strategies Congruency & its proof Similarity Applications of similarity & congruency](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cee5503460f949bc50a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Using Similarity for Indirect Measurement
At any one time, vertical objects, the sun’s ray and shadows produced a set of similar triangles
Make an indirect measurement to find height of tree.

The triangles are similar because
corresponding angles are congruent.
Write a proportion:
Girl’s shadow 2.5 1.5 Girl’s height
Tree’s shadow 37.5 x Tree’s height
x = 22.5 m
