Proof
Since the givens satisfy the three required inputs to SAS, students
can see that they have completed the first part of the proof, and
can now focus their attention on the second piece. The SAS
Postulate proves that triangles are congruent, so they must now
find a block in their toolkit that takes congruent triangles as an
input. CPCTC fits that description and returns congruent segments
or angles, the latter being the aim of the proof. Our students can
now draw their proof as shown, certain that their logic is correct
because all of the inputs and outputs of the blocks match. They
know that they have reached the end because the final outgoing
piece of information matches the prove statement in the original
problem.
