This project assesses students understanding of similar and congruent triangles. It's hands-on and allows for student choice. They are asked to build a bridge of their choice using popsicles sticks, color-coding similar/congruent pairs. After, they'll create a "key" with proofs for each pair.
You will become a holiday geometric detective and designer, investigating how congruent triangles and similar triangles appear in many Winter Holiday decorations, traditions, and celebrations around the world. Over the next three weeks, you'll choose a festive structure or design, analyze its geometric properties, and create both a mathematical investigation and a hands-on holiday model or presentation. Students will create a 2D or 3D winter holiday themed product that showcases their knowledge
