Description
Assess 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles with a complete collection of special right triangles tests, quizzes, and exit tickets. With three different test options, four quizzes, three exit tickets, answer keys, and editable PowerPoint files, you can choose the assessments that best match your instruction and your students’ needs.
This resource gives you assessment options for every stage of your special right triangles instruction. Begin by checking students’ radical skills, assess each triangle type separately, and then measure cumulative understanding through mixed problems and geometric applications.
Three test versions provide meaningful options for differentiation. Test A includes more independent and extended applications, Test B is a medium-difficulty assessment with mostly multiple-choice questions, and Test C is a shorter supported test with the special right triangle relationships and helpful diagrams provided.

EXIT TICKETS
Exit Ticket A: Radical skills
Exit Ticket B: 45-45-90 triangles
Exit Ticket C: 30-60-90 triangles
The exit tickets provide short, focused checks that can be used at the end of class, as warm-ups, during small-group instruction, or as quick reviews before a quiz.
QUIZZES
Quiz A: Radical skills and 45-45-90 triangles
Quiz B: Cumulative special right triangles
Quizzes C and D: Parallel quick assessments with different measurements
The quizzes allow you to assess individual skills or check students’ cumulative understanding after both special right triangle relationships have been taught.
THREE TEST OPTIONS
Test A: Independent and Extended Application
This 10-question test requires students to work more independently and apply special right triangle relationships to direct calculations, squares, equilateral triangles, area, perimeter, and multi-step figures.
Test B: Standard Assessment
This 10-question test assesses the essential skills at a medium level of difficulty. Most questions are multiple choice, with selected problems requiring students to calculate and record missing measurements.
Test C: Assessment With Support
This shorter 6-question multiple-choice test provides the special right triangle side relationships and includes diagrams to help students identify the given and requested sides. It works well as a supported test, accommodated assessment, alternate test form, small-group assessment, or reassessment.
SKILLS ASSESSED
Simplifying radical expressions
Rationalizing denominators
Adding, multiplying, and squaring radicals
Recognizing 45-45-90 triangles
Applying the x : x : x√2 side relationship
Recognizing 30-60-90 triangles
Applying the x : x√3 : 2x side relationship
Finding missing legs and hypotenuses
Writing exact answers in simplest radical form
Finding square diagonals, side lengths, areas, and perimeters
Finding altitudes and areas of equilateral triangles
Solving multi-step and composite-figure problems
EDITABLE FILES INCLUDED
Print-ready PDF files are included for convenient classroom use. Editable PowerPoint files allow you to change wording, measurements, directions, answer choices, or layout to better fit your students.
For the most reliable formatting, edits should be made in Microsoft PowerPoint. Converting the files to Google Slides, Canva, or other programs may cause equations, diagrams, or fonts to shift.
These assessments are not tied to a required sequence. Select the exit tickets, quizzes, and test version that best fit your pacing, instruction, and students. The variety also provides useful options for different class periods, absences, make-up work, differentiation, and reassessment.
