Congruent Triangles

Looking to challenge your students that have mastered basic triangle congruence proofs? A collection of proofs employ previously learned definitions, theorems, and properties. Pupils draw on their past experiences with proofs to...

Construct yourself a winning geometry unit. A set of lessons introduces geometry scholars to constructions and proofs with compasses and straightedges. It also covers triangle congruence through transformations. This is the second of...

Can they put it all together? Ninth graders apply what they know about proofs and triangle congruence to complete these proofs. These proofs go beyond the basic triangle congruence proofs and use various properties, theorems, and...

Learn about constructing figures, proofs, and transformations. The seventh unit in a course of nine makes the connections between geometric constructions, congruence, and proofs. Scholars learn to construct special quadrilaterals,...

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.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Gimme three sides, mister! The video introduces the Side-Side-Side Triangle Congruence Theorem. Using segments of different lengths, the portion of a larger playlist on geometry shows that only one triangle can be built.

SAS is not just a spy organization. A section of an extensive geometry playlist introduces a way to show two triangles are congruent, SAS. Using diagrams, the video provides an explanation by showing only one triangle is formed with two...

The location of the side makes a difference. One of the videos in a geometry playlist introduces angle-side-angle and angle-angle-side congruence relationships. Using drawings, the video shows how these two congruence statements are...

Combine transformations and triangle congruence in a single lesson. Scholars learn to view congruent triangles as a rigid transformation. Using triangle congruence criteria, learners identify congruent triangles and the rigid...
