 * Mathematics Standards **
 * G.3.C. **Use properties of 45 ⁰ - 45 ⁰ -90 ⁰  and 30 ⁰  – 60 ⁰  – 90 ⁰  to find a missing side of a triangle.

of a triangle in real life situations.
 * Special Triangles**
 * Student will be able to use properties of Special Right Triangles to find missing sides
 * Students need to have a connection with real life the following link will give the teacher a visual for the students to see how right triangles can be use to solve problems.
 * Teachers can use different activities to introduce the Pythagorean Theorem. The following are some ideas to use visualization for real life problems.

the students will retain better if they can process the concepts trough visualization.

 * Right triangles applications


 * Another fun page for students to practice Right Triangles is on the Math is fun website:
