    The document describes an experiment where students work in groups to determine the minimum amount of information needed to identify congruent triangles. Without seeing each other's screens, the groups listen as a director provides measurements for different triangles. By analyzing the patterns in the types of information provided, the students discover that three corresponding side lengths or two corresponding side lengths and the included angle are sufficient to guarantee congruent triangles, while only knowing side lengths or angles alone does not guarantee congruence.
