Virtual Manipulatives : Right Triangle Solver
I was looking through the Virtual Manipulatives and came upon the Right Angle Solver. I started to play around with it and found it very helpful. While it starts out like a normal problem, it lets me choose or identify the term in the picture. After that it let me choose, it gave me a few methods to solve the problem. As I was highlighting the methods it showed me examples of each method. If I chose the wrong method to use, it would give me a reason why I could not choose it. I was able to see the method used and correctly fill in the blanks. This is a very helpful tool to further the understanding of properties of right triangles.
