Here are some great resources to use! Some are for students and their parents while others are for teachers and administrators. Feel free to check them out!

Illuminations Congruence Theorems This is another activity for students to practice show how triangles are congruent. It is a fun visual way to show this and will help it stick in student's heads!

Congruent Triangles Review Game This a Jeopardy style game that is used for review. This could be played in the classroom setting as a competition or students could use this link at home for extra practice. They are quick questions that have instant response. Games are always a good way to make learning fun.

Triangle Factory This was a game that I think students would enjoy playing. They had to sort shapes into boxes, depending on if they were congruent or not. If they they got one wrong, they have to answer a question about triangles. It is a fast paced game that still helped students learn.

Triangle congruence Unit Plan This is a lesson plan written by a teacher during her student teaching. It is a good resource for myself and other teachers, so that we can see how other teachers would teach this lesson and get ideas on how we can make our teaching more effective.

Geometry in Action This site does not directly relate to the lesson topic as much as the other links do. This one does talk about how geometry is used in the 'real world' and later on in life. This would be a good site to show students who don't think they will ever use what they are learning in school.

Using Sketchpad to construct shapes This site has a lot of lesson plans that are searchable with different parameters. This particular lesson is about how to use Geometer's sketchpad to draw geometric shapes.
