DECK OF CARDS
Students classify and compare triangles cards in this deck to learn about side and angle relationships. There are 8 sets of 6 similar right triangles and 8 more cards have triangles with variables. Students can figure out the value of x that would make the triangle similar to one of the other sets. Five cards are NOT triangles and three triangles are not right triangles. The discussions initiated by these cards significantly increase retention!
Use one deck for motivation or use several for cooperative learning tasks. Students enjoy the challenge!!
