Identifying Congruent Sides in Triangles
A 5th grade geometry practice set that teaches students to recognize congruent sides using tick marks, with worked examples and practice on triangles and other shapes. It builds vocabulary for equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles and strengthens students' ability to read and interpret diagrams.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 30-40 minute guided practice block after introducing congruence and tick marks, working through the worked example together before students try the problems independently.
- Discussion question: How can tick marks help you decide whether two sides are congruent without measuring them?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students label each tick mark with a color or count them aloud, and review the key terms table before starting.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to explain why an equilateral triangle must also be isosceles, and to sketch a shape with exactly two pairs of congruent sides.
- Estimated time: about 35 minutes for the full set, including the worked example and independent practice.
