Curated OER
PD-ROM 2.2: Our Quad Needs Sod (Ms. Ana England)
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.
Curated OER
Using the Pythagorean Theorem
Students apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve real-world problems. They draw diagrams based on written descriptions to calculate the examples.
Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem Proof
Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.
Curated OER
Diagonal Lengths
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.
Curated OER
How far have we traveled?
Students practice longitude and latitude to determine given position on Earth's surface, convert and calculate angular measurements, and use Pythagorean Theorem to determine change in position or distance traveled between any two locations.

Pythagorean Theorem Investigation
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.
