Looks at the garment factory industry in the 1800s and the early part of the 20th century, where workers toiled in sweatshop conditions. After a terrible fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in 1911, labor unions gained support in...

The goal of this task is to apply knowledge about similar triangles in order to understand an origami construction: trisection of the side of a square. Aligns with G-SRT.B.5.

College professor Dan Bach reviews basic trig concepts, including trig functions, right triangles, circles, radians, and polar coordinates. Site includes animated graphs and detailed examples.

The goal of this task is to study if the analog of the AA criterion for similarity of triangles holds for different types of quadrilaterals. Aligns with HSG-SRT.A.2.
