Curated OER
Proving Triangles Congruent
Students examine Triangle Congruency. In this measurement comparison lesson, students use inductive, deductive and analytical thinking skills to prove triangle congruency. Students analyze and record their findings on activity worksheets.
Curated OER
Exploring Special Segments in Triangles
Students discover that four special segments have a common intersection point. They identify the position of the intersection point in triangles. They produce conjectures about areas of the divided triangles.
