Unit Description: Unit 3 – Triangles and More Triangles
Essential Questions: How can classifying triangles identify their special characteristics? - What special relationships occur between congruent triangles and similar triangles? - What special properties exist in a right triangle that makes it unique? - How can special segments of a triangle be used to solve real-world problems? - How can points of concurrency be used in real- world situations?
Resources/Materials: ELMO, projector, laptop, powerpoint, guaranteed curriculum, rulers, protractors, patty paper
