Before we proceed to our new lesson for today,

let’s have first a review about our lesson last
meeting
What did we discuss last meeting?
Yes Joyce! Yesterday, we discussed about ASA
Congruence Postulate.
Very good!

Who can recall what ASA Congruence

Postulate is?
 Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

Yes Evan! ASA Congruence Postulate states that, “If the

two angles and the included side of one
triangle are congruent to the corresponding two
angles and the included side of another
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Absolutely!
Who wants to go to the board and illustrate the
ASA Congruence Postulate?
Yes Rodan! (student does as told)

A X

B Y Z
Very good! C
The ABC and XYZ are congruent since
A  X , AC  XZ and C  Z and it
refers to ASA Congruence Postulate.

a. Motivation
Now class, I have here two triangles made
from cardboard material. One is colored blue
and the other one is colored yellow.

Class, do you know on how to determine the

congruence of these two triangles colored blue
and colored yellow by dealing only on their
sides not the angles?
No, Sir!
 Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

B. Activity

So be with me this morning as I’ll discuss to

you the “SSS Congruence Postulate.”
Everybody read! “SSS Congruence Postulate”

a. Statement of the Aim

*complete the congruent marks to illustrate
that the triangles are congruent through SSS
Congruence Postulate;
*match the given sides of triangles to show
that the triangles are congruent through SSS
Congruence Postulate;
* describe the importance of equality in the
society.

Now, I’ll group you into 4 groups and form a

circle with your group. All you have to do
class is to draw the desired figure through the
following procedures being flashed on the
screen.

Do you get me class? Yes Sir.

When you are already finished, you have to say

with action, “Clap, clap, clap Champion”! The
group which can finish first will be the winner
and will receive a secret price.

I’ll give you five minutes to do it and your

time will start now.
Students do as told.
 Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

Do the following in your group:

1. Draw a straight horizontal

line segment and name it as
ST having a length of
15cm.
2. On the Point S of the line
segment ST , draw a
vertical line segment and
name it as SU having a
length of 20cm.
3. Connect the point U and T
to form a new diagonal line
segment named UT having
a measure of 25cm.
4. Name the newly formed
triangle as STU and
indicate the measures of the
three sides of STU .

C. Analysis

I want somebody from group 1 to draw their

figure on the board.
(student does as told)
Yes Lovely
Is there somebody from group 2 to draw their
figure on the board?
Yes Apple (student does as told)

Is there any representative from group 3 to

discuss the work of group 1?
Yes Adrian (student does as told)
How about from group 4 to discuss the work of
the group 2.
(student does as told)
Yes Rodan

Very good!

Let’s name the other triangle as OMN .

15cm T M 15cm N
What side of STU corresponds with the side
MO of MNO ?
Yes Aaron It is the side SU .
Very good!
Since, sides MO and SU are corresponding
sides, what then have you observed about their
measures?
Yes Cheyenne SU and MO have the same measure.
That’s right
If they have the same measure, then how are
we going to describe them?
Yes Annie The two sides are congruent.
That’s correct!
What side of STU corresponds with the side
MN of MNO ?
Yes Sunshine It is the side ST .
Very good!
How are you going to describe the two
corresponding sides: MN and ST ?
Yes Panfy MN and ST are corresponding and congruent
sides because they have the same measure.

Exactly!
So now, how are you going to describe the last
pair of sides; UT and NO ?
 Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

Yes Ellajane UT and NO are corresponding sides and they

are also congruent because they have the same
measures, both of which is 25cm.
Absolutely!

D. Abstraction

Based from the information, can we now

determine that the STU and MNO are
congruent? Yes Sir
Then, why did you say “yes”?
Any idea?
Yes Evan! We can now determine that the STU and
MNO are congruent because the three sides
of STU are corresponding and congruent to
the three sides of MNO .
Amazing!

Based from Evan’s answer, how are you going

to state the SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence
Postulate?
Yes, Lovely SSS Congruence Postulate
If the three sides of a traingle are
conrresponding and congruent to the three
sides of the other triangle, th the two triangles
are congruent.
Exactly!
Who else?
Yes Sunshine SSS Congruence Postulate
If the three sides of a traingle are congruent to
the three sides of another triangle, then they are
Very good! congruent.
Now, how are you going to illustrate the SSS
Congruence Postulate? Who wants to volunteer
to go to the board and illustrate the SSS
Congruence Postulate?
 Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

Yes Adrian Student does as told.

Very good!
For your better understanding, here is now the
exact statement of the SSS Congruence
Postulate.
Everybody read! SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate
If the three sides of one triangle are congruent
to the corresponding three sides of another
triangle, then the triangles are conguent.
Example:

T U

S P
O N

If OT  UN , OS  PN and ST  UP then
OST  PNU .
Values Integration
A while ago class, we’ve discussed about SSS
Congruence Postulate and we were able to
determine the Congruence of triangles through
this certain congruence Postulate.

Class, have you noticed the word congruence? Yes sir

What word can you associate with the term,

congruence class? It is similar with the word equality, sir.

That’s right!
 Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

So, class how important is equality in the

society?
Yes Janniah! For me, equality is very important in order for
the people in the society to be equal. In terms
of benefits from the government, whenever a
family receives remedy from the governement,
the other families will also receive. In that way,
they will be equal.
You have the idea!
Class, what if one family needs more remedy
from the government than the other families,
should the government give more remedy to
that certain family? Yes Sir
Why did you say yes?
Yes, Sunshine! To make every family fair, the government
should give more remedy to certain family
which needs more help than the other families.
That’s right!
Let me show you this picture to you.
Your answers are related to this picture.

So it is not enough that every family receives

equal amount of remedy from the government
when one family needs more than the other do.
So, to make them more equal, the government
should give more remedy to the family which
needs more.
 Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activty
“Equality has become synonymous with
“levelling the playing field.” So let’s make
equity synonymous with “more for those who
need it.”
Do you get me class? Yes Sir

E. Application

How important are congruent triangles in real

world class? How are they being applied?
Yes Evan! Traingles are ver important since they are
useful in constructing geometric structures like
bridges, houses, hospitals, buildings and other
establishements that involve triagles. They
served as the basic foundation to make the
structures strong, balance and safe.
Amazing!
What a nice answer!
