IV. PROCEDURE Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. PRE - ACTIVITY
1. Prayer Before we start with our lesson this morning, everybody is requested to
stand for a prayer to be led by____________. Everyone in praying.

Good morning class. Good morning ma’am.

2. Setting of Classroom Before we start, I am reminding everyone our classroom rules.
Rules a. When the class is about to start, phones should be kept inside your bags or
I will confiscate it.
b. If someone is talking in front, everybody must listen and sit properly.
c. If you want to answer or ask questions, raise your hand silently.
d. When answering questions, do not answer me in chorus.
e. Observe cleanliness inside the classroom.
3. Review
We already discussed about triangles, and its congruence by
correspondence.
Yesterday we discuss about the triangle congruence and corresponding
 congruent parts.
Congruence means same shape and same size. In symbol ≌.
What is congruence? What is the symbol of congruence?

Very good! Two triangles are congruent if the corresponding sides and angles are congruent.
When can we say that two triangles are congruent?
Excellent! Or the what we call CPCTC. 3. Vertices, angles, and sides.
How many corresponding parts do congruent triangles have? What are they?
Before we proceed to our new lesson, let’s first have an activity.
Are you ready? Yes ma’am!
4. Motivation
PICTURE ANALYSIS

Answer may vary.

a. How will you relate the picture to your ambition?
b. If you were an architect or an engineer, what is your dream project?
c. Why are there triangles in the structures? Are the triangles
congruent? When are two triangles congruent?
5. Presentation of the lesson d. Why are the bridges, buildings, houses, and fairies wheel stable?
objectives Triangle congruence postulates
Based on our activity, what do you think will be our topic for today?

Very good!
 Our topic for this day is all about triangle congruence using the SAS (Side-
Angle-Side), ASA (Angle-Side-Angle), and SSS (Side-Side-Side)
postulates.
In connection with this, you are expected to:
a. identify included side and included angle;
b. illustrate the Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Angle-Side-Angle
(ASA), and Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence
postulates; and
c. apply triangle congruence in real life situation.
B. ACTIVITY To better understand our lesson, I want you to group yourselves into two
groups.
Group 1.
3.
2.
1.

Group 2. Given the ABC ≌ PQR, identify the corresponding congruent

parts of the two triangles. Congruent Angles Congruent Sides
1. < A ≌ < P 1. AB ≌ PQ
2. < B ≌ < Q 2. BC ≌ QR
3. < C ≌ < R 3. AC ≌ PR
C. ANALYSIS 1. How did you arrived on finding the corresponding congruent parts of the 1. Finding the same symbols being showed in the illustrations.
triangles?
2. How did you know that one angle is congruent to another angle of the 2. One angle is is congruent to the other angle when their symbols are the same. And
other triangle? And how did you know that a side of one triangle is one a triangle is congruent to the other side of another triangle if they have the same
congruent to the other side of one triangle? symbols.
3. How many pairs of corresponding congruent angles are there? 3. 3
4. How many pairs of corresponding congruent sides are there? 4. 3
 5. How many pairs of corresponding congruent parts are there? 5. 6
D. ABSTRACTION Two triangles are congruent if their vertices can be paired so that
corresponding sides are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent.
Before we study the postulates that give some ways to show that the two
triangles are congruent given less number of corresponding congruent parts,
let us first identify the parts of a triangle in terms of their relative position.

Included angle is the angle between two sides of a triangle.

Included side is the side common to two angles of a triangle.
In triangle MAY,
M

Y
< M is an included angle between MY and MA.
< A is an included angle between AM and AY.
< Y is an included angle between YM and YA.
MA is an included side between < M and < A.
AY is an included side between < A and < Y.
MY is an included side between < M and < Y.
Triangle Congruence Postulates
SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate
 1. PQ ≌ WX
2. <Q ≌ <X
3. QS ≌ XY

If JK ≌ PQ, <K ≌ <Q, KS ≌ QR; then JKL ≌ PQR by SAS Postulate.

Example, we have triangles PQS and WXY. Anyone from the group who
can give me its corresponding parts to know that these two triangles are
congruent using the SAS postulate.

Very good! Now we can say that the two triangles are congruent.
Next.
ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate
 1. <B ≌ <E
2. BC ≌ EF
3. <C ≌ <F

If <K ≌ <X, KJ ≌ XZ, <J ≌ <Z; then KJL ≌ XZY by ASA Postulate.

For example, given the triangle ABC and DEF, who can give me the
corresponding parts of the triangles in order to prove that they are
congruent, using the ASA Postulate?

Excellent!
Therefore, triangle ABC and DEF is congruent. No ma’am.

Another. The last postulate.

SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate

1. BC ≌ AD
2. AB ≌ DC
3. AC ≌ CA
 No ma’am.

If AB ≌ XY, BC ≌ YZ, CA ≌ ZX; then ABC ≌ XYZ by SSS

Postulate.

Are there any question?

Okay, example, given the parallelogram ABCD with a diagonal AC that

divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.
Who can give me the corresponding sides in order to prove that the two
triangles are congruent using the SSS postulates?

Very good! Therefore, we can now say that CBA ≌ ADC

Give yourselves a round of applause!

Any questions or clarifications regarding the SSS postulate?

E. APPLICATION Since there are no questions and clarifications, for your individual
performance, choose one below that best suits you.

Engineer (make a miniature building that consists of congruent triangles

considering the congruence postulate).
Painter (paint a picture or natural living things you see in your place that
shows congruent triangle considering the congruence postulate).
Photographer (create a pic collage of objects that you may see at home that
show congruent triangles considering the congruence postulate).

separate sheet of paper for your answer.
