Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
• Identify when are two triangles congruent.
• Appreciate the importance of congruent figures in real-life situation.
• Illustrate triangles with congruent corresponding parts.
• Compare and contrast the three Congruence Postulates theorem; SAS, ASA, and SSS

II. Subject Matter:

A. Topic – Definition of Congruent Triangles
B. Reference – Mathematics Learners Module pg. 349
C. Materials – Book, Board, Chalk, Figure pictures w/ guide questions.

III. Procedures:
A. Routinary Activities:
✓ Prayer
✓ Greetings
✓ Classroom Management
✓ Attendance

B. Drill / Review

▪ Activity 1: Find your Partner

Instructions: Each student inside the classroom will be given one triangle figure. Students
are instructed not to show their figure to their classmates without the signal of the teacher.
At the count of three, find your partner who is holding the same shape as yours then answer
the guide questions.
Note: Name your triangles as ABC and DEF, match the corresponding sides and angles
that has the same measurements.
Ex. B E

A C F D
Match Corresponding Congruent Corresponding Congruent
sides or not? Angles or not?
First Match AB DE Congruent ∠A ∠D Congruent
Second Match
Third Match

1. Why/How did you choose your partner? I have chosen my partner because we have
the same figures.
2. Describe the two figures you have. The figures we both have is triangle with same
size and characteristics.
3. What can you say about the size and shape of the two figures? The size and shape of
the two figures are the same.
 4. We say that congruent figures have the same size and the same shape. Verify that
you have congruent figures. The figures that we have has the same measurements of
their sides same goes with their angle

C. Unlocking Difficulties
While the students are doing the activity, the teacher will write the following and ask random
students to fix the jumbled words.

1. DEDCULIN LEGAN – Is the angle between two sides of a triangle

2. DEDCULIN SDIE – is the side common to two angles of a triangle
3. GNOCRUENT – Two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and the corresponding
angles between them are equal.
4. TEXREV – is a point where the sides or edges of the object meet or where two rays or line
segments meet.
5. HYOPETUSEN – the longest side of a triangle

D. Motivation
Before moving forward to the lesson, the teacher will leave this quote to the class and connect it
to the topic about congruence postulates.

E. Lesson Proper

The Congruence Statement:

Two triangles are said to be congruent if one can be placed over the other so that they coincide.
This means that congruent triangles are exact copies of each other and when fitted together the sides and
angles which coincide, called corresponding sides and angles, are equal
CONGRUENCE TRIANGLES: EXAMPLES
Example A. Assuming ΔI ≅ ΔII, write congruent statement for ΔI≅ ΔII.

Find x and y.

THEOREM 1: SSS or (Side-Side-Side Theorem)

Figure 1. Figure 2.

Two triangles are congruent if the three sides of one are equal respectively
to the three sides of the other

In figure 1, if a = p, b = q, and c = r, then ΔABC ≅ ΔQPR

Example exercise:

ΔCBA ≅ Δ_YXZ_

AB ≅ _XY_

XZ ≅ _BA_

THEOREM 2: SAS or (Side-Angle-Side Theorem)

Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one are equal
respectively to two sides and the included angle of the other.

For example:

is congruent to

Example exercise:

ΔABC ≅ Δ_RSQ_

AB ≅ _RS_
∠A ≅ _∠R_
CA ≅ _RQ_

ΔBCA ≅ Δ_YZX_

BC ≅ _YZ_
∠C ≅ _∠Z_
CA ≅ _ZX_

THEOREM 3: ASA or (Angle-Side-Angle Theorem)

ASA means that we have two triangles where we know two angles and the included side
are equal.
Two triangles are congruent if two angles and an included side of one triangle are equal
respectively to two angles and the corresponding included side of the other triangle.
 For example:

is congruent to

Example exercise:

ΔBAC ≅ Δ_YXZ_
BC ≅ _YZ_
∠B ≅ _∠Y_
∠A ≅ _∠X_

F. Generalization

• The teacher will ask the students what are the three theorems that has been discussed.
• The teacher will ask random students to illustrate two congruent triangles at the board.

H. Evaluation
Post-test: Answer the following statements.
1. What makes two triangles congruent?
2. How many pairs of corresponding parts are congruent if two triangles are congruent?
3. Illustrate ΔTNX ≅ ΔHOP. Put identical markings on congruent corresponding parts.
4. Where do you see congruent triangles?
5. What do you think is the importance of congruent figures in real-life situation?
