Students investigate the properties and idea of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the different parts of a right triangle and relate it to the Pythagorean Theorem. They do a robotic experiment to...

Students solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify different parts of a right triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate missing angles and sides.

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this Pythagorean Theorem activity, students derive the distance formula and slope of a line from the Pythagorean Theorem.

In this Pythagorean theorem worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 8 different problems that include using the Pythagorean theorem to solve. First, they find the missing measure in each right triangle. Then, students make a drawing...

In this Pythagorean theorem worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 16 different problems that include using the Pythagorean theorem to solve each one. First, they find each missing measure given the hypotenuse of a right triangle....

Accompanying the lesson at www.shodor.org, this worksheet present students with a series of questions about the volume and surface area of a rectangular prism and a triangular prism. Students predict how these values would change if the...

Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Students are responsible for creating a border around a triangular garden spot, of which they know the measurements for two sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the third side and complete the garden.

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

For this Pre-calculus worksheet, learners consider a scenes from The Wizard of Oz and The Simpsons refering to the Pythagorean Theorem. Students analyze the statement for errors and write about another mathematical formula...

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...

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

Students 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.
