Similar Triangles Poster
For this activity, students will work in small groups to create a poster telling everyone all about similar triangles. What are they? How do we know that two or more triangles are similar? How do we create similar triangles? Students will use a variety of tools and materials to complete this activity. This poster, along with explaining everything about similar triangles, should be created using similar triangles. This could include making the background of the poster out of all similar triangles. Students must demonstrate that they know what similar triangles are and how they are produced using the properties of similar triangles.
I created this activity because it gets to think about the mathematics of similar triangles in a more hands-on way. Students are able to be creative by doing this activity while also demonstrating that they understand everything they should know about similar triangles.

Learning Targets:
- I can demonstrate my understanding of similar triangles by drawing them
- I can show and describe relationships between side lengths and angle measures in similar triangles
- I can use similar triangles in a creative way by creating a poster using elements of similar triangles
