Identifying a Pair of Congruent Shapes Worksheet Download
The congruent pair is ALWAYS drawn with the second shape turned. That is the whole standard - a rotation preserves congruence - so a pair sitting the same way up would not test it; the turn is what the student has to see past. The three wrong pairs are the three things congruence gets confused with, and each is a real relationship rather than two unrelated shapes: similar (the same shape scaled), the same shape with one measurement changed, and two different shapes that happen to share a side length.
