I.

Objectives:

At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:

A. Illustrate that the triangles are congruent through SSS congruence postulate.
B. Match the given sides of a triangles to show that the triangles are congruent through
SSS congruence postulate.
C. Describe the importance of equality in the society.

II. Subject Matter:

A. Topic : SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate

B. References: : Internet, Mathematics Learner’s textbook for grade 8
C. Instructional Materials: : Projector, pictures, rulers, pencil, and paper
D. Values Integration: : unity and cooperation

III. Procedures:

A. PREPARATION

a. REVIEW:

 What did we discuss last meeting?

 Who can recall what ASA Congruence Postulate?

b. MOTIVATION:

10cm 10cm
8cm

6cm 6cm

List down the congruent sides of this triangles

 What do you think is our lesson for today?
 Do you have any idea?
Okay, you will discover it later!

B. Activity:

Group Activity:
I will group you into four groups and form a circle with your group. All you
have to do is to draw the desired figure through the following procedures being
flashed on the screen.
I will give you five minutes to do it and you will start now.

Then draw another triangle with the

same measurements of each sides
and name it as OMN.

C. ANALYSIS

I want each group to choose your reporter to draw or present your figure on the
board.

Questions:

1. What side of STU corresponds with the MO of MNO?

2. What side of STU corresponds with the side MN of MNO?
3. What side of STU corresponds with the side ON of MNO?
 D. ABSTRACTION

 Based on the information, can we now determine that STU and MNO
are congruent?
 Based on your classmate’s answer, how are you going to state the
SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate?

 For better understanding, here is now the exact statement of the SSS Congruence Postulate.
Values Integration:

A while ago, we’ve discusses about SSS Congruence Postulate and we were able to
determine the congruence of triangles through this certain congruence Postulate.

Class, have you notice the word congruence?

What word can you associate with the term congruence class? (it is similar with the word equity)

So, class how important is equity in the society?

Let me show you this picture!

E. APPLICATION

 Answer the following:

How important are congruent triangles in real world class? How are they being
applied?

ACTIVITY 1:

Answer
F. EVALUATION:

Directions:

to show that the following pairs of triangles are congruent through SSS Congruence
Postulate
