I used this One Big Square Task with my trigonometry students to review 45-45-90 special right triangles. I found this task in the Open Curriculum Task Database. I loved listening to the conversations my students had as they struggled through this problem. And, I mean “struggle” in the best possible way! Free Download of One …

I found this dragon puzzle to practice special right triangles online, and I fell in love with it. Each of the triangles is a special right triangle. I did a bit of research, and I was able to find the original source. I also found the same problem in McDougal Littell’s Geometry: An Integrated …
I created this special right triangle discovery activity to help my trigonometry students discover (or rediscover) the patterns in the sides of the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 special right triangles. 45-45-90 Special Right Triangle Discovery Activity The page I’m showing you FIRST is actually what we did LAST. Yes, I’m that teacher who makes my students …
Since I’m teaching trig this year, I wanted to create some special right triangles posters to jog my students’ memories. Special right triangles are a topic they study in geometry but have often forgotten by the time they end up in my trig class. I designed the title to print on 8.5″ x 11″ and …

This was our last topic to review before delving into actual trigonometry. I don’t know exactly what it is about special right triangles, but I LOVE them. …
