Lesson Plans and Worksheets
Lesson Planet has helped me dramatically, giving me instant access to so many lessons, worksheets and rich ideas. It has helped me to continue to deliver high interest instruction to students with cross categorical special needs in high school inclusive settings, which is no simple matter.
Due to the ease, quickness and richness of the materials on this site, my life as a first year teacher has been made infinitely better to say the least.

Pythagoras Teacher Resources
Find teacher approved Pythagoras educational resource ideas and activities
Some early contributors to the world of mathematics are presented in this PowerPoint. A total of nine men, such as Pythagoras and Galileo, are shown in the slides which contain their lifespan, their contributions to the world of mathematics, and a portrait.
Eighth graders find connections between numbers in a table; use Pythagoras' theorem in a general algebraic form; and measure accurately from a scale drawing to find a method that might enable the helicopter to land inside a rectangular region.
Eighth graders investigate the concepts of using the pythagorean theorem and the teacher guides them through several variations of proofs for it. They identify the parts of the right triangle that include the angles, sides, and specifically the missing hypotenuse.
Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of proving the Pythagorean Theorem. They research proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Pupils create posters of proofs, and research Greek mathematicians.
In this probability and statistics worksheet, students examine and interpret scatter plots and box-and-whisker plots. They write algebraic equations and solve them. Students match inequalities to their graph. This eleven-page worksheet contains 39 problems. Answers are provided on page eleven.
Students investigate and explore the Pythagorean Theorem. For this geometry lesson, students investigate the parts of a right triangle and identify the use of the Pythagorean Theorem. They complete an assignment and a worksheet that apply the theorum using a dissection argument.
In this math worksheet, middle schoolers practice answering the questions for finding the hypotenuse of the given triangles while using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Analyze Pythagorean triples and apply them to real world situations in this creative instructional activity. Students will investigate the Pythagorean theorem and its history through a powerpoint presentation with audio and video clips. Their final project is to construct origami models of triangles. Links are included to the resources.
In this Pythagorean Theorem learning exercise, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of a missing side. They calculate surface area of a prism. This two-page learning exercise contains 4 multi-step problems.
In this trigonometric ratios worksheet, students solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they write the degrees listed in radian measure. Then, students find the exact ratios for each equation. They also find the value of x in each triangle and evaluate.
