Topic options: 
A. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
B. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
C. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
D. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
G. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
H. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
I. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
J. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
K. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

problem_activity: Activity
The goal of this activity is for students to see the usefulness of the triangle congruence theorems in proving other results. In this proof, students are expected to draw an auxiliary line, find two congruent triangles, determine that they are congruent by the Side-Side-Side Triangle Congruence Theorem, and then use the fact that corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent to finish the proof.
Making dynamic geometry software available gives students an opportunity to choose appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Remind students of the tips for writing proofs using triangle congruence theorems that are on display.
Representing, Conversing: MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Use this routine to help students develop the mathematical language of geometric proofs. After partners revise their drafts into a clear proof that angle
\(B\)
is congruent to angle
\(D\)
, invite them to create a visual display of their proof. Then ask partners to quietly circulate and read at least two other visual displays in the room. Give students quiet think time to consider what is the same and what is different about their proofs. Next, ask partners to discuss what they noticed. Listen for students who reference the proof from a previous lesson that opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. Also, listen for and amplify the language students use to justify why triangle
\(ABC\)
is congruent to triangle
\(CDA\)
and angle
\(B\)
is congruent to angle
\(D\)
.
Design Principle(s): Cultivate conversation
Action and Expression: Provide Access for Physical Action.
Provide access to tools and assistive technologies such as dynamic geometry software. Some students may benefit from a checklist or list of steps to be able to use the software.
Supports accessibility for: Organization; Conceptual processing; Attention
Student Facing
Quadrilateral
\(ABCD\)
is a parallelogram. By definition, that means that segment
\(AB\)
is parallel to segment
\(CD\)
, and segment
\(BC\)
is parallel to segment
\(AD\)
.
Prove that angle
\(B\)
is congruent to angle
\(D\)
.
Work on your own to make a diagram and write a rough draft of a proof.
With your partner, discuss each other’s drafts.
What do you notice your partner understands about the problem?
What revision would help them move forward?
Work together to revise your drafts into a clear proof that everyone in your class could follow and agree with.

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students struggle longer than is productive, direct them to their reference charts. What do they know about parallelograms? (Opposite sides are congruent.)
Activity Synthesis
Select partners who used the same approach and whose work is at similar levels of clarity to work together in groups of 4.
Instruct students to read the other group’s proof and decide if they agree with it, and if it could be improved to convince a skeptic. Invite each partnership to say one thing they noticed and liked about the proof, and one thing a skeptic might wonder about the proof.
If needed, brainstorm some things skeptics might be wondering about, such as:
When you did that rotation, how did you know these points had to line up?
How did you know those would be the same line?
How did you know those lines could only intersect there?
How did you know the Side-Side-Side Triangle Congruence Theorem would apply to these triangles? Did you list all three reasons?
How did you know those sides were congruent?
How does knowing the triangles are congruent help you prove the angles are congruent?
Did you use any information that wasn’t given or that you didn’t have a reason for?
Did what you proved match the problem?
