Students discover the mathematical way to find the dimensions of a diagonal. Using this process, they complete a worksheet in which they identify the relationships between different degree triangles. They review their answers and are graded based on a rubric.
Students explore the concept of right triangles. In this right triangle lesson, students construct a scale model of a tourist attraction similar to Fort Jefferson. Students research aerial photos of Fort Jefferson, then build their model using posterboard, markers, tape, scissors, rulers, and other items.
In this Geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems involving 30â—¦-60â—¦-90â—¦ and 45â—¦-45â—¦-90â—¦ right triangles. The one page interactive worksheet contains five multiple choice questions and is self checking.
Students use geometric formulas to divide a pumpkin pie. In this geometric formulas lesson, students review equations for area and circumference of a circle and divide a pumpkin pie to practice the formulas. Students use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the pie problems.
In this special right triangles worksheet, students find the length of the hypotenuse or a leg. This one-page worksheet contains 18 multi-step problems. This worksheet is self-checking. If answers are correct, then the student will know the answer to a riddle.
Get an interdisciplinary edge. Scholars study air contamination and slope. They record the time it takes for air fresheners to reach them at variable distances. They document their times, classify them by distance, and draw a scatter plot to represent the mean figures of their data. Great lesson!
For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems involving special right triangles and the trigonometry of right triangles. The one page interactive worksheet contains ten multiple choice questions, a hint for each question, and is self checking.
For this right triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 16 various types of problems. First, they find the missing side lengths in each illustration shown. Then, students place the letter of each problem on the lines at the bottom of the sheet.
High schoolers create posters. In this concepts lesson, groups of students use the internet to research different proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. In addition, they research Greek Mathmaticians. High schoolers create posters and bulletin boards containing their information.
Learners explore the qualities of right triangles. Given an incomplete worksheet of a Pythagorean Theorem Proof, students produce the missing steps to successfully complete the proof. Learners apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a diagonal of a box and determine the lengths of the other two sides by applying side relationship conjectures.
