March 9: Triangle Investigation

I was gone today, so our guest teacher had an investigation for Pre-Algebra today.  Students were to cut out squares of varying sizes, and use the sides of the squares to create triangles and record the data on the sheets given.

There are many relationships with triangle side lengths and the types of triangles that are created- specifically acute, obtuse, and right triangles.

Tomorrow we will look at the relationships we noticed and see what conjectures we can make!

See you tomorrow!
