Task: If a parallelogram is cut diagonally across opposite corners, are the two triangles congruent? Prove your answer! The students were allowed to use ANY strategy they wanted to experiment and prove whether they were congruent. They come up with some creative methods! (This was a way to help students prepare for the next unit: Area of Polygons. Understanding the relationship between various polygons is helpful when using the formulas.)
