Browse Full-length Non-member TitlesIn this 12-part series, Zero the Math Hero introduces the concept of a theorem and models how to find angle measures for interior and exterior angles for a variety of triangles. Several examples are demonstrated, using algebra as a part of the problem solving process. Students will learn two theorems related to triangles are: The Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, and The Exterior Angle Theorem. Part of the "Zero the Math Hero" series.
