When Does SSA Work to Determine Triangle Congruence?

For Teachers 9th - 10th Standards
Your learners will make good use of the Socratic method in a collaborative task that begins with an assumed solution and ends with deeper understanding of the idea of determining two triangles congruent.

Triangle Congruence

For Teachers 9th - 11th
Students use web applet to create congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar. They create shapes online and drag those shapes around to create visuals of triangles.
