Worksheets · Geometry
CPCTC proofs worksheet CPCTC stands for corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, and it is always the last move, never the first. Prove the two triangles congruent by SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS or HL, and only then may you say that any other matching pair of sides or angles is congruent. Writing CPCTC before the triangles are congruent is the one thing these sheets are built to catch.

How to do these Given the triangles are congruent, why is ∠ B ≅ ∠ C ∠ B ≅ ∠ C ?
The triangles were proved congruent on the line above. Angle B and angle C are matching parts of those triangles. The answer is CPCTC .
Where students go wrong Using CPCTC to prove the triangles congruent. It works the other way round: congruent triangles first, corresponding parts second.
Also called corresponding parts of congruent triangles, CPCTC worksheet, proofs using CPCTC or two column proofs CPCTC.

Every cpctc proofs sheet is free to print and free to download as a PDF. There is no account to make, no email to hand over and no limit on how many you take.
Do the cpctc proofs worksheets come with an answer key? + Yes. The answer key prints on a second page, and you can choose whether it shows each question beside its answer or just the answers in a list.
Are these cpctc proofs worksheets printable? + Yes. Print straight from the page, or download the PDF and print that. The sheet is laid out for paper rather than squeezed off a screen, so there is room to work under each question, and the answer key comes out on its own page.
What grade are these cpctc proofs worksheets for? + Geometry is usually taken around 9th or 10th grade, though schools vary and plenty of students meet it earlier or later. Pick the difficulty rather than the grade: the easy level suits a first lesson on it, the hard level suits review before a test.
Can I get a different version of the same cpctc proofs worksheet? + Yes, as many as you like. The questions are built fresh each time rather than picked from a fixed set of files, so pressing Generate gives a new sheet. That is what you want for a second class, a retake, or two students sitting next to each other.
Is this a free alternative to Kuta Software for cpctc proofs? + That is the closest comparison, and Kuta Software is good software. It is also paid software you install on a computer. These worksheets run in a browser tab for free, with no account and nothing to install. Like Kuta, the cpctc proofs questions are generated when you ask for them rather than pulled from a fixed set of files, so two classes never get the same sheet, and the answer key comes with it.
Can I choose how hard the cpctc proofs questions are? + Yes. There are three levels, and you can tick more than one for a sheet that mixes them, in which case the questions come out easiest first. The harder levels are not just larger numbers: they ask for something the easy ones do not.
What kinds of question are on a cpctc proofs worksheet? + You pick from 5: fill in the missing reasons, fill in every reason, fill in the missing statements, write the whole proof and name the postulate that finishes the proof. Tick as many as you want and set how many of each, or let it spread them evenly.
What do students get wrong with cpctc proofs? + Using CPCTC to prove the triangles congruent. It works the other way round: congruent triangles first, corresponding parts second.
