Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students discuss how the Pythagorean Theorem is used in their lives.  Students imagine building a lean-to that is 3 ft. high and 4...

In this physics worksheet, students identify and locate vocabulary terms related to high school physics motion, including projectile motion. There are 46 words located in the puzzle.

Pupils independently investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. They are given a set of triangles that involve whole number Pythagorean Triples. The main focus of the lesson plan is exploration rather than discovering the Pythagorean Theorem.

Young scholars investigate the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem for geometry by using word problems. The challenge is for them to translate the words into the right measurements for a triangle looking for the longest side known as the...

Students use formulas for common geometric shapes in order to solve a real-life, multi-step problem. They calculate material cost based on price/sq. unit.

Young scholars collect, organize, and analyze data while studying the Pythagorean Theorem, measure length and width of several rectangular objects, and compare the measured results to the calculated results.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students answer multiple choice questions about the Pythagorean Theorem. The questions questions are self-checking and hints are provided.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Determine if three side lengths make a right triangle, and given the length of its legs, find the length of a right triangle's hypotenuse.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if triangles are acute, obtuse, or right triangles.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Finding unknown sides in a triangle using other sides and angles.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains how to solve right triangles for any missing side or angle given any two pieces other sides or angles. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and...

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains the Pythagorean Theorem from solving for missing sides of a right triangle through its proof. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the...

You can pick up some valuable pointers on how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem here. When you finish working your way through the pages you can take an on-line "Test Bite," and check your understanding.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students use the Distance Formula to find the distance between two points. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional...

The introduction of this lesson has learners verifying the famous Pythagorean Theorem with a hands-on proof. Students will then apply the Theorem in one of two ways: by solving for the side lengths of a right triangle and by determining...

This section explores the Pythagorean Identity and how it applies to right triangles set inside unit circles, in terms of sine, cosine, and tangent functions.

Explore and discover the Pythagorean theorem.

At the end of this lesson plan about formulas, students will be able to identify and apply the correct formula for a given situation, solve for any unknown component of the formulas for perimeter, circumference, and area of regular and...
