Applications of Triangles: No Nerd Here
This is one lesson plan in a larger Unit Plan on triangular relationships. It has proofs, real world problems, constructions, a unit project, assessments, and more. In Lesson 11, “No Nerd Here”, students explain (or justify) the use of triangle properties in the building of a tree house through either a letter, Power Point presentation, e-mail or a simple report. A list of properties and vocabulary to be used is included. Resource also includes a grading rubric. The entire unit plan can be found here. This is a portion of a Unit Project, however, it could be used as a stand alone assignment as well. The lesson includes the possibility of doing the assignment in small groups to help with differential instruction.
