Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem Notes and Practice preview

Look Inside · 10 pages · answer key included

Teacher letter listing the six parts: notes, cut and match, Match Them Up, 20 practice items, 10-question quiz, answer key
Planning overview with poster and re-teaching ideas for the cut activity
Guided notes on similar triangles: fill in definitions of similar, congruent and AA, then find missing angles in Example 1
Direct-instruction notes to complete together during the lesson
Notes Example 2: spotting congruent angles from markings, parallel lines and angle facts, then practice problems 2 and 3
Continued notes; problem 3 asks students to explain their reasoning
Cut & Match cut-out pieces: students cut out triangles A to F and find similar ones with two pairs of matching angles
Hands-on exploration before the matching worksheet; needs scissors
Cut-out pieces continued: triangles lettered G to L for students to cut out and compare angles with the earlier set
Second sheet of shapes for the same cutting activity
Match Them Up!: students pair each of 10 triangles with a similar one lettered A to J using the given angle measures
Reinforcement practice after the hands-on exploration
Practice identifying similar triangles: 10 true, sometimes or false statements, then items 11-14 on AA, SSS or congruence
Homework or review set, part one of two
Practice items 15-20: name how triangle pairs relate, find a missing angle and use parallel lines to find angle EGF
Second page of practice; good for partner work
Multiple-choice quiz: questions 1-6 on the AA criterion, finding angle A and naming the relationship between triangle pairs
Paper assessment with a name line; also offered as a Google Form

About This Product

This resource was developed to partially meet the requirements of the 8th Grade Geometry standard below:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.G.A.5

Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles*

*This resource does NOT explore the proportional side relationship of similar triangles in depth.

What's Included

It contains the following resources:

1) Angle-Angle Theorem of Similar Triangles Notes

2) Hands-On “Cut & Match” Exploration of Angle-Angle Theorem for Similar Triangles (Multiple ways to use)

3) “Match Them Up!” Practice Worksheet to Reinforce Hands-On Exploration

4) 20 Practice TRUE/FALSE & Multiple-Choice Questions

5) 10 Question Quiz in both hard copy and Google Forms formats

6) Answer key to all parts
