Day 1 (Explore)
What to know
Lets begin this lesson by finding out what congruent triangles are. As you go over the activities, keep this question
in mind. “When are two triangles are congruent”

Activating Prior Knowledge

1. What is the symbol for congruence?
2. If ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ ∆𝑋𝑌𝑍, what are the six pairs of corresponding congruent parts?
3. How do we measure an angle?
4. How can you draw an angle of specified measure
5. What is the sum of the measure of angles of a triangle?
For numbers 6 to 10 define or illustrate each of the following:
6. Midpoint
7. Vertical angles
8. Right Triangle
9. Hypotenuse
10. Isosceles Triangle

Observe an object around you and describe it as for its length of side, the vertices, and the
shape of the polygon and the possible use of geometry for the next object that will be depend
on it.

Day 2 (Firm up- Discussion)

Two Triangles are congruent if their vertices can be paired so that corresponding sides are
congruent and corresponding angles are congruent.

∆ 𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑫𝑬𝑭 read as “triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF”

≅ symbol for congruency
∆ symbol for triangle

The congruent corresponding parts are marked identically.

Can you name the corresponding congruent sides? Corresponding congruent angles?
Answer the questions below. Write your answers in your journal.
 What are congruent triangles?
 How many pairs of corresponding parts are congruent if two triangles are congruent?
 Illustrate ∆𝑻𝑵𝑿 ≅ ∆𝑯𝑶𝑷. Put identical markings on congruent if two triangles are congruent?
 Where do you see congruent triangles?
Day 2(Firm up- Continuation )

Activity # 3
SAS (Side – Angle – Side) Congruence Postulate
Prepare a rule, a protractor, a pencil, a bond paper, and a pair of scissors
Works in groups of four.
Do the following activity
1. Draw a 15cm segment
2. Name it BE.
3. Using your protractor, draw angle B equal to 70 degrees.
4. From vertex B, Draw BL measuring 18cm long
5. Draw LE
6. What figure is formed?
7. Compare the figure you have drawn with the figures drawn by the other members of your group.
8. What can you say about the figures? Justify your answer.

Activity # 4
ASA (Angle – Side – Angle) Congruence
Prepare the following materials: pencil, ruler protractor , pair of scissors

Working independently use a rule and a protractor to draw ∆𝐵𝑂𝑌 with two angles and the included side having the
following measures: 𝑚∠𝐵 = 50 , 𝑚∠𝑂 = 70 and BO = 18cm.

1. Compare the triangle you have drawn with the triangles drawn by four of your classmates.
2. What can you say about the triangle.

If ∠𝑨 ≅ ∠𝑬, 𝑱𝑨 ≅ 𝑴𝑬 , ∠𝑱 ≅ ∠𝑴, then ∆𝑱𝑨𝒀 ≅ ∆𝑴𝑬𝑳

Draw the triangles and mark the congruent parts.

Day 3(Deepen)
For each figure prove that two triangles are congruent.

Figure Proof

Day 4(Transfer)
Activity: Form a group with 6 members and Make an infographics about the SAS, ASA, SSS Congruence postulate.
Discuss it with your classmates.
