Curated OER
Angle Bisectors and Medians of Quadrilaterals
Young scholars investigate the properties of quadrilaterals formed by angle bisectors of a given quadrilateral and quadrilaterals formed by the medians of quadrilaterals. This Cabri Jr. lesson provides opportunity for conjecture and...
Curated OER
Altitude, Median, and Angle Bisector of a Triangle
Learners investigate the special properties of an altitude, a median, and an angle bisector and explore how these special segments divide the area of a triangle. The dynamic nature of Cabri Jr. allows pupils to form and verify conjectures.
Curated OER
Angle Bisectors
Learners identify different angles. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify different properties of triangles. They find the altitude, median and angle bisector.
Concord Consortium
Detective Stories
The truth will always come out. A short performance task has learners considering a witness statement given to a detective. They apply special line segments in triangles and Ceva's Theorem to prove that the witness is actually lying.

In Oz We Tryst
The shortest distance from point A to point B is a straight line, but measuring distance gets more complicated when there are three points! Given the location of three friends, individuals determine the best point for all three friends...
Curated OER
Isosceles Triangles
Young scholars identify the properties of an isosceles triangle. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the midpoint, median and angle bisector of a triangle. They construct angle bisectors and measure missing angles.
Curated OER
Hospital Locator
Pupils apply properties of triangles to the real world. In this geometry activity, students identify the median and angle bisectors of triangles. They plan the appropriate are to place a new medical center based on their knowledge of...
Curated OER
Special Segments in Triangles
Young scholars identify important properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between medians, bisectors and altitudes in a triangle. They identify the properties of these important segments.
Curated OER
The Search for Pythagoras' Treasure
Students identify and define properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing sides and angles of right triangles. They use the rules of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve their problems.
Curated OER
Concurrent Lines in Triangles
Students explore the concept of concurrent lines in triangles. In this concurrent lines in triangles lesson, students work in groups to investigate properties of concurrent lines in acute, right, and obtuse triangles. Students use a...
Curated OER
Studying Special Segments in Triangles
Learners investigate special segments in triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students graph, compare, estimate and predict findings based on their data. They differentiate between similarity and congruence of triangles.
