Triangle Builder: One, Many, or None?
Students test three side lengths or three angles and decide: one triangle, more than one, or none? Eight problems build the triangle inequality by hand. The compass construction stays hidden until students commit a verdict, so reasoning comes before the picture. Covers 7.G.A.2 with a built-in answer key. Includes the degenerate case most worksheets skip. Grade 7, about 20 minutes.
