Congruence of Triangles: Introduction and SSS Criterion
Students will understand the concept of congruence and apply the Side-Side-Side (SSS) criterion to determine if two triangles are congruent.
Key Questions
- Explain what it means for two geometric figures to be congruent.
- Justify why the SSS criterion is sufficient to prove triangle congruence.
- Compare congruent triangles to similar triangles.

Planning templates for Mathematics
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.
