This was a great bonus activity for my advanced 8th graders! They mentioned how fun it was once you got going and could see how all the pieces came together. Great to have multiple versions as well.
Another amazing set of challenge puzzles! These are so good to give students who need enrichment time.

Description

This resource contains 3 special right triangle challenge puzzles in which students will practice finding missing side measures in special right triangles. This includes 45°-45°-90° and 30°-60°-90° triangles. Students must be able to multiply and divide with radicals, as well as rationalize denominators.

Version 1 includes 13 triangles, Version 2 includes 13 triangles, and Version 3 includes 19 triangles. I used values that are easier to manipulate with radicals in all three versions to ensure this focused more on the rules of special right triangles rather than manipulating difficult radicals.

This activity works very well in conjunction with my Geometry Right Triangles & Trigonometry Unit.
