Congruence Criteria for Triangles—AAS and HL

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Congruence Criteria for Triangles—AAS and HL lesson plan also includes:
  • Congruence, Proof, and Constructions - Module Overview (PDF)
  • Congruence, Proof, and Constructions - Module Overview (Doc)

Instructional Ideas

  • Use a graphic organizer to record acceptable and unacceptable criteria for triangle congruence, and include examples and explanations
  • Spiral examples using theorems other than AAS and HL

Classroom Considerations

  • Learners should have previous experience with congruence criteria including SAS, SSS, and ASA

Pros

  • Prior knowledge is used to aid in understanding of the new criteria

Cons

  • Lesson does not include exploration; the content of the lesson is lecture only
