What can symmetry tell us about triangles? After looking at four examples, learners will come to realize that lines of symmetry are different for equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. Use this guided practice activity as an...

Students draw a chart (included in the lesson plan) to use with their investigation. They review terminology of triangles and receive toothpicks to use in the lesson plan. Beginning with three toothpicks, students form a triangle. They...

Identify triangles by their angle measures and side lengths by looking at and measuring angle measures and side lengths. Use Cabri Jr. to construct various triangles, then manipulate the construction to create the 6 types of triangles,...

Students use the inequality theorem to solve triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students are given spaghetti of different lengths and asked to create triangles. They conclude the necessary length needed to make a...

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students define angles and sides of right triangles. They calculate the area and surface area using formulas derived by the Pythagorean Theorem.

Stretch your mind about triangles. Given a triangle, scholars consider a smaller triangle formed when they stretch three rubber bands from each vertex to the opposite side. They determine the ratios of the areas and perimeters of the...

Students classify different types of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify and use properties of triangles. They differentiate between isosceles and equilateral triangles.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...

Students calculate the different sides and angles of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use triangular properties to define the relationship between two triangle. They identify missing angles using the interior angle theorem.

Students find the different ratios of a triangle. For this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing sides and angles on a right triangle. They use a robot to create a right triangle.

Students investigate the properties and idea of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different parts of a right triangle and relate it to the Pythagorean Theorem. They do a robotic experiment to...
