Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify the congruence postulate that proves two triangles congruent from their markings

  • Use CPCTC to justify statements in a two-column proof

Skills covered

  • Classifying congruence — students name SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS or HL, or state that a pair cannot be proven

  • Proof writing — students complete a formal two-column proof using CPCTC

  • Labelling corresponding parts — students shade and label matching sides and angles
