Going back over it myself, the whole portfolio needs to be revamped. While it is good to try, it will not
be accurate unless other material is used, and even measuring with a protractor will not result in
whole measures, so it is in my opinion that we need to change this. So all that is required is the
chart. It is on 6.8.2 and it must be done BY HAND. Attached below is a word doc and pdf version
so you can print it out. If you download first, you can type in the other parts, then print it out just to
draw the triangles and markings. The triangles should be drawn on your own, not pictures from
online and the other columns given ask for what the Thereom says and what required information.
For the required information you need to include words like this:
1, 2, or 3 sets of congruent sides
congruent set of legs
congruent set of hypotenuses
congruent included sides (An included side is a side that is between 2 angles.)
1 or 2 sets of congruent angles
congruent included angles (An included angle is an angle that is between 2 sides.)
All of the markings should be shown on 2 triangles for each.
There is a bonus if you try to do the drawings and answer the questions anyway. (worth 2pts) If you
actually do the experiments and can upload a picture, you will also get 1pt per picture with the
strings. (worth 3pts). If will go toward portfolio points or quiz points if you have all the points.
Based on the provided information, it seems that the current portfolio needs to be revamped, specifically the chart on 6.8.2. The suggestion is to focus only on the chart and complete it by hand. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Review the word document and pdf version provided. Download and print them if necessary.
2. Type in the other parts of the chart using the downloaded document, and then print it out.
3. Draw the triangles and markings by hand, without using pictures from online.
4. Ensure that each triangle includes the required markings as specified in the instructions.
5. For each triangle, determine and fill in the information requested in the chart.
- Identify if there are 1, 2, or 3 sets of congruent sides.
- Identify if there is a congruent set of legs.
- Identify if there is a congruent set of hypotenuses.
- Identify if there are congruent included sides (sides between 2 angles).
- Identify if there are 1 or 2 sets of congruent angles.
- Identify if there are congruent included angles (angles between 2 sides).
If you want to earn bonus points:
6. Attempt to draw the triangles and answer the questions provided, even if the measurements might not be accurate.
- This effort is worth 2 points.
7. Conduct the experiments mentioned and take pictures while holding the string.
- Each picture with strings is worth 1 point, with a maximum of 3 points.
It's important to note that the points earned can contribute to portfolio or quiz points if all the requirements are met.
