Right Triangles Inscribed in Circles I
One of the basic properties of inscribed angles gets a triangle proof treatment in a short but detailed exercise. Leading directions take the learner through identifying characteristics of a circle and how they relate to angles and...

T Points from Directions
Here is a lesson that starts with having geometers translate points using compass directions into an accurate picture of the problem. Then they must use their knowledge of the Pythagorean theorem or similar triangles to solve. This makes...

Human Graphing Activity
Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...
Analyze Math
Analyze Math: Special Triangles Used in Trigonometry
The trigonometry tutorial investigates special triangles. The activity includes isosceles right triangles and 30-60-90 triangles. The examples show how to obtain the six trigonometric ratios of the special angles using special triangles.

Ic Teachers: Shapes: Triangles
Are you looking for a very basic website that will explain the basic properties of a triangle? Use this site to learn about the properties of equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, right triangles,and scalene triangles. There are...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Try Angle?
In this activity, students investigate properties of triangles by randomly generating possible side lengths for triangles. They learn to determine if three line segments can form a triangle. They also learn to classify triangles as...
Rice University
Rice University: Cynthia Lanius: Hidden Polygon Activity
On this site students are instructed to locate different types of polygons on triangle grid paper. This page can be printed so that students can actually draw them. It also gives a definitions link for each polygon.
