About this resource
Maze Activity: Lengths of Chords, Secants, and Tangents
This Maze Activity: Lengths of Chords, Secants, and Tangents
is an activity to engage your Geometry students to practise and learn about lengths of chords, secants, and tangents in a circle. This chords, secants, and tangents maze is just what you need to help students practise their maths skills. The problems included in this activity are:
segments formed by intersecting chords,
intersecting secants, and
intersecting tangents and
secants.
This is a self-checking activity that will provide students a fun way to practise their skills.
Do you want a self-checking activity? Students will know if they made a mistake and must go back to find their error.
Do you want a no prep activity? Just print and hand out the maze to students.
The best part? Students will have fun while learning!
