Pythagorean Theorem Truss Bridge Project
Pythagorean Theorem, Angles and Measurement Final Project. I use this with my 8th graders in replace of a unit test. Have students work as partners or solo. I always have students begin the blueprint as soon as I began teaching the unit. By the time they reach the step of proving their right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have already had multiple lessons and quizzes covering the topic.
