III. PROCEDURE

Teachers Activity Students Activity

Good morning, class. Good morning, Maam!
Prayer
Checking of attendance
INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITIES
1. Checking/submitting of assignments
Class, pass your assignments (Students will pass their assignments)
2. Motivation
Class, Im going to group you into 6 groups. You
(Students will count from 1-6)
count 1-6 now.
Now that you have you groups, open you books on
page 351.
Yes, Maam!
Im going to give each group a pair of triangle. You
have it now?
Class, you name your triangles ABC and
Yes, Maam!
just like what you see in the book. Done?
Now, we have here 3 matches of vertices of the two
tringles. The first match is ABC to EDF ( A
corresponds to E, B corresponds to D, C
corresponds to F). The second match is ABC to
EFD and the third match is ABC to DEF.
The question is, in which of the pairings are the two
triangles are congruent? Fill up the activity sheet on
Yes, Maam!
the next page. Write your answer in one whole sheet
of paper. Start working now!
(After the activity each group will share their
answer to the class. They should have the same
answer.)
3. Lesson Proper
The common answer in your activity is the third
pair. Lets see why?

AB
corresponds to ED , BC

EF
corresponds to , AC corresponds to

FD . And as you can see the sides are congruent
Congruent triangles have congruent
because they have the same position. corresponding angles and congruent
A correspond to F , B corresponding sides, Maam!

corresponds to E , C corresponds to

D . Again the angles are congruent because

they have the same position.
Now class, who can tell me the definition congruent
triangles based on our activity? Yes, Julius?
Very good, Julius!
Two triangles are congruent if their vertices can be
paired so that corresponding sides are congruent and
corresponding angles are congruent.
Now class, lets have this triangles on the book.
ABC , read as triangle ABC is
congruent to triangle DEF.
The symbol of congruency is this and the Yes, Maam!

symbol of triangle is this . Remember that

class, okay?

AB
The corresponding sides Maam are,

ED
corresponds to , BC corresponds

The congruent corresponding parts are marked

to EF , AC corresponds to FD .
identically. Can you name the corresponding sides?
Yes, John?
Thats right, John! Now, can anyone name the
The corresponding angles Maam are, A
corresponding congruent angles? Yes, Raymark?
correspond to F , B corresponds

to E , C corresponds to D
.
Correct, Raymark! Do you understand the lesson
Yes, Maam!
class?
4. Enrichment Activities
 Now class, were going to answer the question Congruent triangles have congruent
below. Again, what are congruent triangles? Yes corresponding angles and congruent
Christina? corresponding sides, Maam!
Thank you, Christina!
Next question, how many corresponding parts are
There are 6 corresponding parts Maam!
congruent triangles have? Yes, Janelle?
Thats right, Janelle!
Illustrate TNX HOP . Put identical (Paul will illustrate the triangles and he will put
the markings.)
markings on congruent corresponding parts. Yes,
Paul?
Very good, Paul!
Last question, where do you see congruent I see congruent triangles on bridges Maam!
triangles? Yes, Lyca?
Thats right! How about you, Aira? I see congruent triangles in building Maam.
Very good, Aira! Now class, do you get the lesson? Yes, Maam!
