Pythagorean Spiral Project

In this project, students will use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the side lengths of successive triangles. They will also use right triangle Trigonometry (Soh Cah Toa) to calculate the measure of interior angles. This project gives them a chance to create using Math, and to decorate their spiral in whatever way they choose. I often use this project before exams, allowing them to compete for bonus points. The spirals are easy to grade, and fun for the kids.
