Eighth graders use formulas to solve Pythagorean Theorem problems. They explore the hypotenuse, adjacent angles and legs of a triangle. Given any two integers in a problem, 8th graders identify and complete Pythagorean triples.

In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

Good things happen when algebra and geometry get together! Continue the exploration of coordinate geometry in the third lesson in the series. Pupils explore linear equations and describe the points of intersection with a given polygon as...

In this math worksheet, learners are given that c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Students must find 12 sets of missing measures. Learners also use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine whether a given set of measures would form a...

Students identify a right angle and right triangle. They perform WebQuests searching for similar figures and solve for the length of one of the sides given the other two.

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

Middle schoolers engage in a study of the Pythagorean Theorem to classify the hypotenuse of a triangle. The teacher uses examples from the lesson to aid students in comprehension of solving problems that involve problem solving. They...

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...

Students find the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the different parts of a right triangle. They work the first problem with-the teacher then work on their own.

Seventh graders relate the Pythagorean theorem to the real world. In this algebra lesson plan, 7th graders identify important properties of the Pythagorean theorem and use it to solve word problems. They create a step by step plan...

Students solve for missing sides using the Pythagorean theorem. In this algebra lesson, students derive the six trigonometric values using the right triangle. They relate the Pythagorean theorem to the distance formula.

Students 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...

Is there a relationship between powers and roots? Here is a lesson plan that asks individuals to examine the graphical relationship. Pupils create a table of values and then graph a square root and quadratic equation. They repeat the...

Students calculate the distance they will travel. For this geometry lesson, students use the TI and CBL system to make calculation of a certain path. They explore geography by calculating distances between different areas as it relates...

Using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing angles, students evaluate right triangles and their properties.

Challenge scholars to prove the Pythagorean Theorem geometrically by using a cut-and-paste activity. They then must solve for the missing sides of right triangles.

There are many different ways to show a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.  Here is a nice hands-on paper cutting activity that shows a graphic representation. You can even challenge your young Pythagoreans to come up with their own...

The Pythagorean Theorem is a geometry pupil's best friend! Learners explain the equation a1b1 + a2b2 = 0 for perpendicular segments using the Pythagorean Theorem. They are able to identify perpendicular segments using their...

Students calculate the distance between two points using the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students derive the distance formula using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean theorem and how it is used in geometry. Measurements for different triangles is given and then students must solve problems in order to practice using the formula.

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

Young scholars find the different ratios of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing sides and angles on a right triangle. They use a robot to create a right triangle.
