Mainly, I want to ensure that we get a nice range of different sized triangles so that it will become clear that the triangles are similar, and that their corresponding pairs of side lengths are proportional. I also walk around providing hints and nudges. I encourage students to share ideas and help each other, only as needed. This section of the lesson is semi-independent. I emphasize the importance of them interpreting the specifications on their own and not trying to make their triangles like their neighbors' triangles. To begin, I explain to my students that they will be creating triangles to specifications language with which they are familiar from previous experience. Note: I have also taught this section having students use a protractor and straightedge to create the triangles rather than incorporating constructions. Namely that special right triangles are derivatives of equilateral triangles and squares. She has been been doing a lot of work updating the homework assignments and I have been planning the activities and daily practice.This is an authentic way for students to practice and apply constructions we have learned and also lays a key conceptual foundation for later sections in the lesson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! Home Meet Mrs.
I added a PDF version above just in case it still isn't working for you. However, if you download it the diagrams and symbols should show up. Is is possible to have another version, or a pdf version? On Box there are weird boxes. I love the triangle stations review! I tried accessing it on box, but there were a lot of rectangles and missing symbols showing up. The links to your short discovery activity for special right triangles is not working - do you have a new one.
Then, they give you the html code that you can put into you post. Then, go to the little drop down menu choose "Share" again, then pick "Embed into your Site". I'm glad you found something useful! This is how I embedded the box downloads: When you're looking at your files on Box, there is a little button that says "Share". I've never seen the "box" downloads right on a page before. Love it! I teach 3rd grade math so this is way out of my league, but I am getting so many great ideas here.
