Congruence of Triangles: SSS, SAS, ASA
Students will understand the concept of congruence and apply SSS, SAS, and ASA criteria to determine if two triangles are congruent.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between similarity and congruence in geometric figures.
- Justify the use of SSS, SAS, and ASA criteria for proving triangle congruence.
- Construct a pair of congruent triangles using one of the congruence criteria.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
