A DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN MATH 8

March 22 ,2023

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standard
The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of axiomatic structure of geometry
and triangle congruence.
B. Performance Standard

The learner is able to:

1. Formulate an organized plan to handle a real-life situation.

2. Communicate mathematical thinking with coherence and clarity in formulating,

investigating, analyzing, and solving real-life problems involving congruent triangles using
appropriate and accurate representations.

Most Essential Learning Competency

 Proves two triangles are congruent. (M8GE-IIIg-1)

C. Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Use ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) congruence postulate to prove that two
triangles are congruent.
2. Apply the two-column proof in proving two triangles are congruent.
3. Identify whether the pairs triangles are congruent using ASA (Angle-
Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate.

II. CONTENT: Proves two triangles are congruent.

GAD Core Message: Shared Equalized Opportunities

III. LEARNING RESOURCES:

A. References: Teacher’s Guide
B. Textbooks: Exploring Math 8, Orlando A. Oronce, Marilyn O. Mendoza, pp. 327-338

A. Reviewing previous lesson

Before we discuss our lesson for today, let’s have

first a short review.

Activity:
Direction: Study the figure at the right. Use the
two-column proof to prove the two triangles are
congruent.

Very Good!
Keep in mind that ASA (Angle-Side-Angle)
congruence postulate is crucial in proving two
triangles are congruent.

B. Motivational Activity

Now I let you watch a video and tell me of what you

understand afterwards

C. Explain/State the objectives of the lesson.

Our lesson objectives in this topic are:

 Use SAS (Side-Side-Side)
congruence postulate to prove that
two triangles are congruent.
 Apply the two-column proof in
proving two triangles are congruent.
 Recognize the concept of two
triangles are congruent in real-life
situations.

5. AHO
Theorem, let us now proceed with our new lesson,
proving two congruent triangles using ASA (Angle-
Side-Angle) congruence postulate.

B. Presenting Examples/Instances of the

New Lesson

Example: Use the ASA Congruence Postulate

Using the marked figures, can the ASA Postulate be
used to show that the triangles are congruent?
Explain.

Solution:
a. In the figure, ∠A ≅ ∠P, ∠C≅ ∠R, and AC ≅ PR .
That ASA Congruence Postulate can be used to
show that ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ PQR because AC∧PR are
included between the congruent angles.
b. In the figure, ∠D ≅ ∠X, ∠E≅ ∠Y, and DF ≅ XZ .
Since DF ≅ XZ are not the included sides between
the congruent angles, the ASA Congruence
Postulate cannot be used to show that the triangles
are congruent.
 C. Discussing New Concepts and Practicing
New Skills

In this lesson we are going to prove that two

triangles are congruent using Angle-Side-Angle
Congruence Postulate.

Parallel lines-two lines in the same plane that are at

equal distance from each other and never meet.
They can be both horizontal and vertical. (‖ ¿

Triangle Proportionality Theorem Statement

If a line is drawn parallel to any one side of a
triangle so that it intersects the other two sides in
two distinct points, then the other two sides of the
triangle are divided in the same ratio.

Vertical Angle Theorem

Vertical angles theorem or vertically opposite
angles theorem states that two opposite vertical
angles formed when two lines intersect each other
are always equal (congruent) to each other. Let's
learn about the vertical angles’ theorem and its
proof in detail.

Now, let us apply the congruence postulates and

theorem in proving congruent triangles using the
illustrative examples below.

Example: Use ASA Congruent Postulate to prove

that the two triangles are congruent.
Given:WH ≅ WS ; AH ‖ SK
Prove: ∆ AWH ≅ ∆ KSW .

Two-column proof: 1. Given

2. If parallel lines, then alternate interior angles

are congruent.

in Daily Living

Direction: Study the figure below. Given that
DA ≅ EA ; BD ‖ CE . Prove ∆ DAB ≅ ∆ EAC . Use
two-column proof.
̅̅̅
To prove that any triangles are congruent we used:
• The ASA Congruence Postulate that states
If two angles and included side of one triangle are
congruent to the
corresponding two angles and the included side of
another triangle, then two
triangles are congruent.
• Other geometric properties, definitions and
theorems to help prove that
two triangles are congruent.
• The two-column proof to illustrate the proving.
