Introduction: This unit plan is designed for students taking geometry in a high school setting. The
students in this high school are on a schedule that allots 58 minutes for each class. Each geometry
class meets every day of the week. This unit is on triangle congruence. Throughout the unit,
students will learn essential concepts, theorems, skills needed to prove triangle congruence.
Standards: CCSS: HSG.CO.A.5, HSG.CO.B.6, HSG.CO.C.10, HSG.CO.D.12, HSG.CO.D.13,
HSG.CO.B.7, HSG.SRT.B.5
Goals:
1. The learner will prove triangles are congruent using SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS.
2. The learner will apply properties of isosceles triangles to prove triangle congruence.
3. The learner will prove triangles are congruent using the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem.

the Lesson Target
1. Task Analysis
Introduce the lesson by asking students about what
they believe congruence means
Students will complete Exploring Transformations
activity
Discuss as a class what was discovered and how it
relates to congruence
Work through 4-1 notes as a class some examples
as a class, some with partners, and some
independently
Give students an exit slip where they are to write
(two sentences minimum) what they learned today
2. Thinking Levels
Remembering Discuss when youve used the word
congruent in the past and what it meant
Understanding Explain how transformations are
related to congruence
Applying Solve for missing angle measures in
congruent triangles
Analyzing Prove two triangles are congruent with the
given information

Exploring Transformations
First, go to http://geogebratube.com/student/m92392
Click on the translate box.
What happens to the measures of the triangle as it is translated?
Next, click on the rotate box. Choose multiple different angle measures to
rotate the triangle.
What happens to the measures of the triangle as it is rotated?
Finally, click on the reflect box. Move the mirror line around and transform
the triangle.
What happens to the measures of the triangle as it is reflected?
What can we say about the triangle after it has been transformed?
Ex. 1
Explain how the triangle in example 1
could have been moved from its position
in quadrant II to its position in quadrant III
through a series of transformations.

SSS Mini-Proof
Groups (4 students) will all be given 3 pieces of straws of differing lengths. All groups are given the same 3
lengths and asked to construct these pieces into a triangle any way they would like. After they measure all
of the angles, one person from each group will go up to the board to report the angle measures. Students
should see that every groups triangle had very similar measures. Use this as an introduction to the SideSide-Side Postulate.
Jobs
1. Make the triangle/glue it onto the paper
2. Measure the angles
3. Record the angle measures
4. Write your measures on the board
Rules
-All sides must be touching
-No overlapping sides
-No extended sides
