Instructional Ideas

• If using the Pythagorean Theorem lessons in the unit, include questions that assess those standards
• Include multiple choice questions similar to those used on the state tests

Classroom Considerations

• Pupils may try to dilate the first triangle using the center of the triangle as the center of dilation, like the problems in the unit

Pros

• Answer key shows the work that leads to the solutions
• Rubric details the standard covered by the questions

Cons

• None
