The dilation is defined by a rule (coordinate notation) so technically, they do not need to know how to dilate in order to complete this part of the project. I describe the project in class, then assign it for students to complete over Thanksgiving break. I have used this in geometry and geometry honors classes, and it is one of their favorite projects all year! The project is completely editable with a word do

This short 3-5 minute PowerPoint explains the Altitude to the Hypotenuse theorems so that every student will remember this very difficult concept. Meet Pete...Pete lands on top of a mountain and needs to decide where to go next. The result is the Altitude to the Hypotenuse Theorems!

I've been using this in my geometry classes for years now, and it is THAT ONE THING
