Drawing Triangles AAS Resource ID#: 68424 Primary Type: Formative Assessment This document was generated on CPALMS - www.cpalms.org Students are asked to draw a triangle given the measures of two angles and a non-included side and to explain if these conditions determine a unique triangle. Subject(s): Mathematics Grade Level(s): 7 Intended Audience: Educators Freely Available: Yes Keywords: MFAS, triangle, angle, non-included side Instructional Component Type(s): Formative Assessment Resource Collection: MFAS Formative Assessments ATTACHMENTS MFAS_DrawingTrianglesAAS_Worksheet.docx MFAS_DrawingTrianglesAAS_Worksheet.pdf FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT TASK Instructions for Implementing the Task This task can be implemented individually, with small groups, or with the whole class. 1. The teacher asks the student to complete the problems on the Drawing Triangles AAS worksheet. 2. The teacher asks follow-up questions, as needed. TASK RUBRIC Getting Started Misconception/Error The student is unable to draw a triangle with the given conditions. Examples of Student Work at this Level The student: Draws a figure that is not a triangle (e.g., an open figure with three sides). Draws a triangle with incorrect angle or side measures. Questions Eliciting Thinking What are the features of a triangle? What is a nonincluded side? What strategies would you use to draw a triangle given the two angles and a non-included side? Where is a good Instructional Implications Define a triangle as a polygon with three sides. Make clear that an open figure with three sides is not a triangle ( the vertices, sides, and angles). Be sure the student understands how to measure angles. Provide the student with a manipulative such as or software such as Geogebra (www.geogebra.org) to drawing triangles with given conditions after working with a hands-on manipulative or software. Guide the student to draw a triangle with given conditions. Assist the student in using the ruler and protractor to and "building" the triangle on it. Ask the student to measure the given length on the working line. Using one end student to observe that if two angle measures are known, the third measure is also known since the angles in a tr and draw the angle using the other endpoint of the known side as its vertex. Next, have the student extend the sid to properly label the angles and sides of a triangle. Finally, have the student verify that the drawn triangle fits the Provide the student with opportunities to practice constructing triangles given two angle measures and a non-inc Moving Forward Misconception/Error The student is unable to correctly determine if the given conditions form a unique triangle. Examples of Student Work at this Level The student is able to draw a triangle with the given conditions, but says it is possible to draw a different triangle A different triangle can be made by "swapping" angles R and T. The side lengths can be made longer and the angles can be kept the same. The triangles are not the same (e.g., congruent) because they are oriented differently. Questions Eliciting Thinking What will be different in the new triangle? What would swapping the angles achieve? Can you show me how you would make the side lengths longer while the angles stay the same? Instructional Implications Use tracing paper to show the student that two triangles can be oriented differently but still be the same (e.g., co conditions, ask the student to do so. Have the student confirm that the measures of the side and angles correspon triangles are congruent. Another option is to have the student imagine changing the length of side and the effect this would have on th measure of the side of a triangle causes the measure of the opposite angle to change as well. Since R must mea exercise as an opportunity to conclude: Two angle measures and a non-included side determine a unique triangle. Two angle measures determine the measure of the third angle of the triangle. Provide the student with another set of AAS conditions, and encourage the student to further experiment and con Almost There Misconception/Error The student does not adequately explain why the given conditions form a unique triangle. Examples of Student Work at this Level The student is able to draw a triangle with sides of the given lengths and says it is not possible to draw more than student explains: "If one side has to be 7 cm, then the rest would still have to be the same." "One of the sides has to be 7 cm, so you wouldn’t be able to make any of the other sides bigger." Questions Eliciting Thinking How are the angles and sides of a triangle related? Can you change the measure of an angle and not affect the length of the opposite side? Can you change just two side lengths and keep all three angle measures the same? What conditions must be true for triangles to be congruent? Instructional Implications Help the student confirm his or her conclusion by constructing another triangle with the same three measuremen angle measures of the original triangle. Guide the student in discussing the relationship among the sides and ang Model constructing a triangle with angles and a nonincluded side of the given measures as described in the Getti angle is fixed by the size of the given two angles. Since one of the side lengths is also fixed by the given conditi mathematical terminology. For example, if m R is 45° and m T is 75°, then m S must be 60°. Because one sid only one triangle is possible. Got It Misconception/Error The student provides complete and correct responses to all components of the task. Examples of Student Work at this Level The student is able to draw a triangle with the two given angles and one non-included side measure and says it is explains in terms of: The uniqueness of the third side (see Instructional Implications for Almost There). The relationship between the length of a side and the opposite angle measure. Questions Eliciting Thinking What does congruent mean? How do you know that only one triangle can be drawn given the stated conditions? Can you describe your strategy in drawing triangle RST? If R and T were switched, would the triangle be congruent to the original? Does it matter which angles are drawn on the endpoints of the given side? Instructional Implications Pair the student with a Moving Forward partner to share strategies for drawing triangles.
