This document provides instructions and 7 practice problems for proving that triangles are congruent. Students are asked to prove congruence using properties like pairs of angles being equal, pairs of sides being equal, or geometric relationships like having a common vertex or being on a circle. The problems involve shapes like parallelograms, triangles where angle measures are given, and figures where midpoints or perpendiculars are drawn.
