Illuminations congruent triangles
The students are provided with a worksheet containing a summary of the information given in the class and an exercise to be done at home. After completion of the quiz, another online activity will sum up the terms and principles, which the students would have acquired during the two lessons.
After this activity, students are expected to pair up in groups and perform a quiz through the Internet, with the aim of enhancing more collaborative learning. During the second lesson a general class presentation will also involve a discussion on the topic.

The lesson is introduced using everyday examples as illustrations of the term, followed by a detailed hands-on activity using the mathematics software Cabri Geometre. The first lesson gives an overview of the topic of congruent triangles. Hands-on activity (four different computer based activities) Presentation Internet quiz Internet interactive exerciseģ Overview: The project is made up of 2 lessons. This may take longer if the students are not familiar with the software cabri geometre. Time: Classroom Management: A two-lesson time line is the minimum time expected from the students to go through all the activities. If the presentation is opened directly from the CD-Rom there is no need to copy this folder. Utilise the newly acquired knowledge in order to solve related problems Requirements: Basic use of Cabri Geometre (Software for mathematics) Computer laboratory Projector and screen Internet connection Uploading of the folder named Xtras is needed for the presentation to run from each personal computer.
