This is one lesson in a larger Unit Plan that introduces triangular relationships through the lens of building a treehouse with a variety of triangular characteristics. It has proofs, real world problems, constructions, a unit project, assessments, and more. In Lesson 18, “Congruent Triangles", students investigate the conditions that make triangles congruent including SSS, AAA, SAS, ASA, AAS, and SSA. There are two patty paper investigations, a video resource, and real world problems. The entire unit plan can be found here. This lesson plan has an investigation into SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL and CPCTC with patty paper. There are also practice worksheets and a series of real world problems.
