I use Exit Slips as a quick way to assess students' understanding of the lesson. This Exit Slip gives one side of a special triangle and the students have to find the remaining sides using the patterns for the special triangles. I usually do Exit Slips at the end of the period and it only takes me a few minutes to look them over students can review them during their Bell Ringer the following day.

I assign Last Practices the night before a quiz so students have something to "study." I then email them the answers so they can check their work and I answers questions the next day before the quiz. This right triangle trig last practice has all 6 trig functions, finding angles, solving triangles and using the calculator to evaluate trig functions for non-special angles.

This is a review for a right triangle trigonometry quiz. It includes finding all 6 trig functions, finding angles, solving triangles using SOH-CAH-TOA and using a calculator to evaluate trig functions for angles.

This is a classroom activity to test if given triangles are right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem and then testing if given triangles are Special Triangles (30-60-90 and 45-45-90). It can be for individual use or with partners.

This is a practice worksheet after teaching the special triangle patterns (30-60-90 & 45-45-90). I like to use different measurements to help students learn that radicals are just numbers and a special triangle pattern may be there even if it doesn't look like it.
