Planning notes for this lesson

Prerequisite skills to check: angle relationships, including vertical angles and angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal (8.G.A.5); rigid motions (8.G.A.1-2); properties of equality and the reflexive property.

Key vocabulary: congruent, corresponding parts, included angle, included side, SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, CPCTC.

Warm-up idea: Give each pair of students three strips of fixed lengths and ask whether anyone can build a triangle different from their neighbor's.

Exit ticket idea: Students name the criterion that proves two marked triangles congruent and write a short proof with a reason for each step.

Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
