Instructional Ideas
- Ask learners to determine if the congruence statement still holds if the measurements were different
Classroom Considerations
- Needs access to GeoGebra or another dynamic geometry software
- Assumes the class knows the definition of congruence for triangles
Pros
- Includes directions on how to group the class for parts of the lesson
- Provides suggestions if technology is not available
Cons
- None
