constructing congruent triangles

You get some chalk, some string, some angles and some rulers and you and your team have to construct accurately some Giant Triangles outside! The aim is to practise constructing triangles with given information and to then think of tests to see if they are congruent or not. Using another length of rope you bbring your triangles to life and translate, rotate and reflect them to see if you can make them fit on the others

Please find below the list of kit that you need and another document with your specific instructions on it.
