Triangle Inequality Task

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
Not all triangles are created equal. A simple hands-on activity has learners investigate the side lengths of triangles. They use pipe cleaners to determine whether triangles of given side lengths can exist and then use the results to...

Triangle Inequality Theorem

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
High schoolers investigate the relationship between angle measures and sides of a triangle and the relationships among the three sides of a triangle. The use of technology (Cabri, Jr.) allows learners to make and test conjectures as they...
