The students really enjoyed the activity involving folding triangles. We used the triangles to discuss angles in standard position and reference angles. We reflected the triangles in the x and y axis and again discussed standard position and reference angles. Students did very well on the assessment for these AI's.

We used the special triangle again when working with exact values. It was a valuable hands on activity with investigating the signs of exact values in each of the quadrants. I would definitely continue to use this activity when I teach this course again.
