Right Triangle Scavenger Hunt for Geometry

 

I use Math Medic for all of the math classes I teach and they made a scavenger hunt for AP Precalculus that I love. This year, I've returned to teaching Geometry and at least in the beginning unit, the Math Medic Geometry units didn't include review activities. I decided to try my hand at making scavenger hunts to review some of the Geometry units. The first two that I made, I used questions from Math Medics assessment platform, so I'm not free to share those resources. When the class got to right triangle trigonometry, I made another scavenger hunt, but this time used questions from past Geometry Regents exams. This hunt I can share, since past exam questions are publicly available. 

The premise of a scavenger hunt: Start at any lettered question that's taped around the classroom and write the letter down on paper or a whiteboard. Solve the question and the correct answer choice will lead you to the next question to find. Continue until you've answered all questions. If done correctly, the last question's answer will bring you back to the letter you began with. Most students won't begin with the first letter, but can figure out the secret word that the letters spell by the end. The word also makes it easy for me to check their answers no matter what letters they've been to because I know what order the letters should be in. 

Here's my Geometry Right Triangle Trig Scavenger Hunt.
