Learning objectives

  • Analyse and identify the structure of simple triangles
  • Gather information about the similarities and differences between triangles
  • Comprehend the meaning of congruent triangles - Triangles are congruent when all corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent. The triangles will have the same shape and size, but one may be a mirror image of the other.
  • Utilise the newly acquired knowledge in order to solve related problems.
  • Ability to draw congruent triangles
  • Understand the properties of congruent Triangles

Teaching Outlines

Concept 1: What are congruent triangles?

If two triangles are congruent, then each part of the triangle (side or angle) is congruent to the corresponding part in the other triangle.

i.e. CPCTC, which stands for "Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent". In addition to sides and angles, all other properties of the triangle are the same also, such as area, perimeter, location of centers, circles etc.

Activities #
Identifying congruent shapes

Polygons are congruent if they are the same size and shape that is, if their corresponding angles and sides are equal. The activity helps in identifying congruent shapes.

Shapes that are congruent

Shapes can be combined together to form congruent shapes. Identifying such shapes for congruence is explored in this activity.

Congruence of geometric shapes

This activity involves in identifying the congruent shapes among the shapes of different geometric shapes.

Concept # 2. Postulates for congruence of triangles.

Any triangle is defined by six measures (three sides, three angles). Triangles are congruent if:

  1. All three corresponding sides are equal in length. SSS (side side side) congruency postulate
  2. A pair of corresponding sides and the included angle are equal. -- SAS (side angle side) congruency postulate.
  3. A pair of corresponding angles and the included side are equal. -- ASA (angle side angle) congruency postulate.
  4. A pair of corresponding angles and a non-included side are equal.-- AAS (angle angle side) congruency postulate.
  5. HL (hypotenuse leg of a right triangle) :Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and one leg are equal.Also known as RHS postulate.
Activity 1
Congruence in triangles – SSS Rule

Investigating the possibility of congruence if three sides of two triangles are congruent.

Activity 2
Congruence in triangles – SAS Rule

Given two sides and an angle of two triangles are equal, are the two triangles congruent? This activity investigates the position of the given angle for the two triangles to be congruent.

Concept # 4 What are similar triangles?

Triangles are similar if corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal. All regular polygons having the same number of sides are always similar. All squares and equilateral triangles are similar. All congruent figures are similar but all similar figures need not be congruent. 

Activities #
Introduction to similar triangles

The concept of similarity is introduced and investigated by comparing elements of two triangles.

Concept # 5. Tests for similarity

Two triangles are said to be similar if any of the following equivalent conditions hold:

  1. The SSS similarity postulate states that if the sides of two triangles are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.
  2. The AA similarity postulate states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are said to be similar.
  3. SAS Similarity Postulate states, “If an angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding angle of another triangle and the sides that include this angle are proportional, then the two triangles are similar.”
Activities #
Similarity test - AA postulate

In two triangles, if the angles are equal, then the sides opposite to the equal angles are in the same ratio and hence the two triangles are similar.

Projects (can include math lab/ science lab/ language lab)
