IV. PROCEDURE PRE-DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY

A. Reviewing Review the past lesson on SAS and ASA congruence postulate.
previous lesson
The teacher shows image of two congruent triangles related to the previous lesson and
ask students questions that will help them recall the discussed concepts.

∠G ≅∠ A GF ≅ KJ
1. ∠Q ≅∠ R
GF ≅ AS

∠ S≅∠F GH ≅ KL

∆ SAD ≅ ∆ FGD by ASA ∆ RTY ≅ ∆ QWE by SAS

Figure 1
Figure 2
 1. Name the given corresponding sides of the congruent triangles.
2. Name the corresponding angles of the congruent triangles.
3. By looking at the image and knowing their corresponding sides, what
postulate shows that the two triangles are congruent?

The teacher concludes the review by stating the important things to remember
regarding the previous lesson.

A. Motivational The teacher shows image of pentagon with triangles intercepted inside and ask
Activity questions to the students.

1. What can you see in the figure?

2. How many triangles are there in the figure?
3. Are there any congruent triangles?
4. How many pairs of congruent triangles are
there?
5. Identify one pair of congruent triangles.
6. How did you know that the triangles are
congruent?
The teacher will supplement the answer of the students
and relate the activity to the previous and new lesson.

B. Explain/State the At the end of the period, the students should be able to achieve proficiency in the
objectives of the
lesson. following:
1. State SSS Congruence Postulate.
2. Determine if two triangles are congruent by SSS.
3. Identify and mark corresponding parts of two congruent triangles.

DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY

A. Establishing a The teacher asks learners where they can see/ observe things that involves
purpose for the congruent triangles.
lesson
1. Look around the classroom or the school are there congruent triangles you can
see? Name one (1).
2. Where else do you observe congruent triangles?
3. Do you think it is important that the things you mentioned have congruent
triangles? Why or why not?

The teacher summarizes and supplements the answers of the students.

B. Presenting The teacher shows an image of a bridge made of congruent triangles.
examples/
instances Congruent triangles are employed in the
of the lesson building process to strengthen the
framework. This guarantees that the
structures are rigid and strong. Likewise,
triangles are used in bridges because they
evenly distribute weight without changing their
proportions. Without triangles, bridges
wouldn't be able to handle the weight of all that
passes through it.

C. Discussing new SSS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE

concepts and 1. Definition of Terms
practicing new skill Define and discuss the important terms about SSS Congruence Postulate.

SSS (side-side-side) Congruence Postulate- If the three sides of one triangle are
congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

2. Give examples and let learners identify corresponding parts to illustrate

SSS congruence postulate.

Example 1:

The teacher will ask what are the corresponding sides of the triangles. After getting the
answers from the students, the teacher will explain how SSS congruence postulate is
observed. After which, the teacher will show a different example.

F J GF ≅ KJ

FH ≅ JL
G K
GH ≅ KL

∆ FGH ≅ ∆ JKL by SSS

H L

ZC ≅ NB
Example 2: ZX ≅ NV

XC ≅ VB

∆ ZXC ≅ ∆ NVB by
SSS
Example 3: The students will complete the illustration to show SSS Congruence
postulate.

U O

Example 4: ∆ ANG ≅ ∆ HEL by SSS Congruence postulate, name its corresponding

parts.

AN ≅ HE

NG ≅ EL

AG ≅ HL

3. Provide practice exercises for students to practice identifying Corresponding parts

of Congruent triangles with SSS congruence postulate and illustrating SSS
congruence Postulate.

DIRECTIONS: Given the triangles below, use the given corresponding parts to
illustrate SSS congruence postulate and give the name of the congruent triangles.

D. Value Integration The teacher will state a quote and let the students say their idea about it.

“Integrity means congruence, words and behavior match” – Nathaniel Branden

After hearing the opinion of the students, the teacher will relate the quote to the lesson
and emphasize the importance of having integrity.

F. Finding practical
applications of The teacher will ask students what they think are the jobs and tasks that requires
concepts and skills knowing, measuring, making or finding congruent sides of triangles.
in daily living
Some possible answers:
1. Architecture, Engineering, Construction
2. Designing
3. Drawing art works or creating art projects.

The teacher will emphasize the importance of congruent triangles in the daily life as
observed in the surroundings.
