Angle Relationships

In this activity, students explore the angle relationships that exist when two lines intersect. They begin by exploring vertical angles and linear pairs, and then expand their study to two lines and a transversal. They will see what relationships hold true when the two lines intersected by a tran...

The Geometric Mean

In this activity, students will establish that several triangles are similar and then determine that the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean between the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse.

The Hinge Theorems

Students will explore the inequality relationships that arise when some of the triangle congruence conditions are in place but others are not. The SAS Inequality Theorem and the SSS Inequality Theorem are often referred to as the Hinge Theorem and its converse. These two theorems concern inequali...

The Ladder Problem Revisited

In this activity students explore the locus of mid-point of the hypotenuse of a fixed length geometrically and algebraically and discover that the median a right triangle is equal to half the length of the hypotenuse. Students then prove this property. The problem: A ladder leans upright against ...

Taxicab Geometry

In this activity, students begin a study of taxicab geometry by discovering the taxicab distance formula. They then use the definition of radius to draw a taxicab circle and make comparisons between a circle in Euclidean geometry and a circle in taxicab geometry. Lastly, they construct taxicab pe...

Special Segments in Triangles

In this activity, students construct medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors of triangles. They then drag the vertices to see where the intersections of the segments lie in relation to the triangle, and they measure distances to identify relationships. They see that the i...
