II. PROCEDURE

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminaries
Hello, Good afternoon, class! Good afternoon, sir!

Okay, that’s good! May we begin our

discussion today with a prayer, class. May I Yes, sir.
ask Matt to lead the prayer. (Matt will lead the prayer)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the

Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Before you take your seat, see under your

chairs and pick up those trash. Arrange your
chairs and make yourself comfortable.
You may now take your seat. Thank you, sir.
How are you today my dear students?

That’s good to hear. Good, sir

Before we formally start our class, let me

remind you my class rules. First FOCUS, all
eyes on me. Second LISTEN, all ears on me.
Lastly, raise your hand if you want to recite
or ask a question.

Is it clear, class? Do you get it?

Yes, sir.
B. Review
Before we start our new lesson for today,
let’s have a quick recap on what we have
discussed last meeting. What was our last
lesson class? It was all about writing proofs, sir.

Yes! You are right!

Proof – it is a logical argument in which each
What does Proofs mean? statement that you make is backed up by a
statement that is accepted as true.

Direct and Indirect Proof, sir.

What are the two Methods in Writing
Proofs?
How does Direct Proof works?
Direct Proof - Is a type of logical reasoning that
uses accepted facts to reason in a step-by-step
manner until the desired statement is
observed.

Indirect Proof To prove a theorem indirectly,

Great! you assume the hypothesis is false, and then
How about Indirect Proof? arrive at a contradiction. It follows the that the
hypothesis must be true.

Paragraph Form and Two Column Form, sir!

Fabulous! What type of Direct Proof did we
focused on?
How does Paragraph Form works?
A paragraph proof is one type of geometric
proof (a series of logical statements proving a
mathematical concept true) written in
paragraph form. The goal is to prove a concept
true, which is done in the conclusion of the
paragraph.
Thank You! How about the two-column Is a one way of organizing a proof. This
form? consists of two columns, one for statements
and one for reasons.

Magnificent! Indeed, sir.

I believe that you have already mastered on

Writing Proofs. Okay, sir.

Now! We shall be proceeding to our new

lesson!
C. Lesson Proper
1.Motivation
Before we begin, let’s first have a simple
game that will give you a mathematical
insight towards the topic we are about to
discuss. Yes, sir.

This activity is entitled “Hanapin Mo Ako”

Earlier, I distributed Fres Candies, and

kindly see the packaging in the back if you
have the message, YOU CAN DO IT! And I
assume there are 10 of you have these, now
I want you to come in front and choose a
folder.

Each folder consists of triangles and 5 of

them have the same size. Open the folder
and find the triangle that matches your
triangle.
2.Presentation
Base on our activity, what do you think is It will be on Triangle Congruence, sir.
our lesson for today?
Very good!

Since this a new lesson, I am hoping for

your active participation and focus on our Yes Sir!
discussions.

Are you ready to learn class? Yes, Sir!

3.Discussion
Do you know what the picture is?

Yes, sir.
What is it?
Pyramids, sir.
That’s right, which country where we can
see it? Egypt, sir.

Magnificent! So what do you observed with

our two pyramids? They are triangle in shape, sir.
Thank you. What else? They are congruent to each other, sir.

You want to add more? They have same sides, sir.

So what does this imply? Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate.

Correct! What does this mean? Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate

If three sides of one triangle are congruent
respectively to three sides of another triangle,
then the two triangles are congruent.
Bravo!
As you can see In the two figures, name the
sides that are congruent to each other.

If AC ≅ XZ, AB ≅ XY, and BC ≅YZ,

then ∆ABC ≅ ∆XYZ, sir

If DE ≅ MN, EF ≅ NO, and DF ≅ MO,

then ∆DEF ≅ ∆MNO, sir

If AC ≅ PR, AB ≅ PQ, and BC ≅QR,

then ∆ABC ≅ ∆XYZ, sir

 A X
Bring It on, sir.

C B Z Y
Bingo! Therefore? If AB ≅ DC, BC ≅ AD, and AC ≅ CA,

That’s Great!
How about this one?
D E M N then ∆ABC ≅ ∆ADC, sir
F
O

If LN ≅ OQ, NM ≅ PQ, and LM ≅ PO,

Great! Therefore?

Wonderful
The next one?

then ∆LNM ≅ ∆POQ, sir

The ASA or the Angle-Side-Angle Postulate, sir.

Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate

Great! Therefore?
If two angles and the included side of one
triangle are congruent to two angles and the
Wonderful!
included side of another triangle, then the two
How about another one?
triangles are congruent.

If A ≅  X , AC ≅ XZ, and
C ≅  Z
Great! Therefore?

Magnificent!
then ∆ ABC ≅ ∆XYZ
How about this one?

If E ≅  U , EF ≅ UV, and
F ≅  B

then ∆ DEF ≅ ∆TUV

Great Job! Therefore?

Nice One ! Now Let’s proceed to the next

postulate. What is it? If  I ≅  Q , IJ ≅ PQ, and
J ≅  P
Okay, what’s all about it?

then ∆ HIJ ≅ ∆PQR

Thank you! As you can see In the two
figures, name the angles and side that are
congruent to each other.
A X
If  A ≅  D , AB ≅ ED, and
B ≅  E

B C Y Z then ∆ HIJ ≅ ∆PQR

Fabuluos! Therefore?

How about this one? If  A ≅  C , BD ≅ DB, and

D ≅  D

D E T U
then ∆ ABD ≅ ∆BDC

F V Yes, sir!

Awesome! Therefore?
The next example?
 H P Q
Included side is the side between two angles.
None, sir!

Indeed, sir!
Yes, sir!
I J R

Good Job! Therfore?

How about this one?

Nice on! Therefore?

How about the last one?
That’s Awesome!
Did you get it class?

In ASA Congruence Postulate, always

remember that the side should be included.

What is the included side?

Do you have any questions?

Are you sure?

How about a simple activity?
4. Fixing Skills
We will be having a game called TIC TAC
TOE.

I will divide the classroom in two groups

and each group will assign their respective
representatives to go in front and play. Each
winner will be having a privileged to move Okay, sir!
their piece in the tic tac toe board.

congruent by SSS or ASA.

Let’s wrap up our discussion through
#SSSandASA
What does the acronym SSS mean?
What is SSS Congruence Postulate?
How can the markings guide you in
identifying the sides of the SSS Congruence
Postulate?
Reminding you students that just like in SSS

8. ASA
9.SSS
SSS means (SIDE-SIDE-SIDE).
SSS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE (SIDE-SIDE-
SIDE)
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to
the corresponding three sides of another
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Because the markings help us to easily identify
if the sides of the two triangles are congruent.
congruence postulate, we should treat
everyone with consistency and equality Indeed, sir!

How about the acronym ASA mean? ANGLE-SIDE-ANGLE

What is ASA Congruence Postulate? ASA CONGRUENCE POSTULATE (ANGLE-SIDE-

ANGLE)
If two angles and the included side of one
triangle are congruent to the corresponding
angles and included side of another triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.

What is an included side? Included side is the side between two angles.

Sharing this quotation to you, “Justice that

love gives is a surrender, justice that law
gives is a punishment”-Mahatma Gandhi.

In ASA postulate, we can see that the

principle of fairness and equality is not just
a matter of law or rules, but a matter of This can be related to the moral value of
valuing each component equally and giving fairness, which emphasizes treating others
them their due importance. Equally and justly.

That’s right!

Very Good!
Excellent class!!!

III. Evaluation:
I. Write TRUE if the statement about the SSS and ASA Congruence Postulates is
correct. Otherwise, write FALSE.
_________1. SSS Congruence Postulate is when three sides of one triangle are
congruent respectively to three sides of another triangle.
_________2. ASA Congruence Postulate is when two angles and the included side of
one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle,
_________3. Included side is the side between two sides.
_________4. Pyramids are made up of Circles.
_________5. Triangle is a four – sided shape.

II. Directions: Identify whether if the two triangles are congruent by SSS or ASA.
