Concurrent Lines in Triangles
Learners 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. Learners use a...
Curated OER
Pascal's Patterned Triangle
Fifth graders receive a brief history of Pascal's triangle. As a class the students construct the first few rows of the triangle. The students are then split into groups where they finish a worksheet identifying the total value of each...
Curated OER
Plenty of Pythagoras
Using a twelve foot knotted rope, students form a 3-4-5 right triangle. Following a discussion of observations about the lengths of the sides of the triangle, students use grid paper, scissors and a centimeter ruler to draw and measure...
Curated OER
Special Right Triangles
Students identify the different parts of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to identify missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They work with irrational and rational roots.
Curated OER
Similar Triangles
Ninth graders find the height of every day objects using techniques learned through postulates that allow triangles in a problem to be similar. They calculate the length of a missing side and solve proportions.
Curated OER
Tennis Triangle
Students calculate the height of a tree or flagpole. They measure the shadow of the tree or flagpole and the length of a shadow of a meterstick. Using similar triangles, calculate the heigh. Devise two additional ways in which to measure...

Year 10 Mathematics Triangle Test
In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the missing angles and sides of the triangles using the correct trigonometric ratios.
Curated OER
Triangles
In this triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and graph 8 different problems that include various transformations. First, they write a rule for the composition of a dilation of a scale factor. Then, students determine whether a graphed...

Shapes...the Beginning of Geometry
Students identify and name basic shapes and points. In this elementary geometry lesson, students use printable cut outs to name circles, triangles, and squares before playing a game with them. They play a game of "Pin the Tail on the...
Curated OER
Law of Cosines
In this Law of Cosines worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems related to applying the Laws of Cosine. First, they determine the length of a side rounded to the nearest integer. Then, students determine the largest angle of a...
Curated OER
Geometric Properties
Students find triangular angles using the angle theorem. In this geometry lesson, students describe labeled triangles, use the pythagorean theorem, and rewrite information about triangles in standard form.

Classifying Angles
Don't be obtuse, this geometry unit is the just the right resource for educating the acute young minds in your class. From classifying and measuring angles, to determining the congruence of shapes, this...
University of Minnesota
Try Angle
Does practice make perfect or just improvement? Scholars practice drawing a triangle on an Etch-A-Sketch. They learn about the part of the brain that controls sensory-motor integration and apply that to an analysis question.

Rotation
Two videos show first how to perform a rotation, given the center, the angle, and the direction of rotations. Individuals then see how to find what the rotation is from one figure to another. Pupils practice doing both in seven problems...

Why Does SSS Work?
While it may seem incredibly obvious to the geometry student that congruent sides make congruent triangles, the proving of this by definition actually takes a bit of work. This exercise steps the class through this kind of proof by...
Balanced Assessment
County Concerns
Apply area concepts to help farmers and settle county disputes. Scholars use a given diagram and information about an insecticide spraying campaign to determine the monetary benefit to farmers. They then decide which of two counties has...
