The Pythagorean Theorem and Classifying Triangles
Through the examination of the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangles high schoolers will learn the classification of triangles (acute, right, or obtuse).
Curated OER
Types of Triangles
Young math whizzes solve four problems in which a triangle with labeled angle measurements is analyzed. They mark if each triangle is acute, right, or obtuse.
Curated OER
Acute Triangles
Learners study acute triangles. They measure angles using a protractor, then classify the triangles as either right, obtuse, or acute. Everyone creates a design for a Navajo rug using only acute triangles.
