Students use the Pythagorean theorem to discover the relationships between the lengths of sides of a right triangle. In this right triangles lesson plan, students use their reasoning and mathematical skills.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.

In this quadratic worksheet, students read short stories, write quadratic equations and use their problem solving skills to solve the equation. Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a diagonal, dimensions of a...

Students practice assessing how to apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles. They recount the contributions of Pythagoras and apply the theories of the Pythagorean theorem in a group project to calculate the...

In this similarity worksheet, students solve and complete 7 different problems that include determining various dimensions of mirrors shown. First, they find the length of the diagonal of the large mirror in the diagram. Then, students...

Middle and high schoolers solve and complete 29 various types of problems. First, they match each name with its correct formula. Then, students find the length of the missing side and the distance between the two points given. In...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the properties of a right triangle. They find the missing side and angles of a right triangle.

Young scholars explore the Pythagorean Theorem. In this math lesson, students apply the Pythagorean Theorem to real life situations. Young scholars find the hypotenuse and solve real world problems.

In this geometric mean and the Pythagorean Theorem activity, 10th graders solve 16 different problems that determine the geometric mean of numbers by applying the Pythagorean Theorem. First, they find the geometric mean between each pair...

Here is a high-level, interractive presentation on calculus for your high schoolers. Parametric equations, derivatives, functions, and the Pythagorean Theorem are all part of this fine PowerPoint. Additionally, two interesting...

The class gets to practice being a mathematician in ancient Greece, performing geometric application problems in the way of Eratosthenes. After following the steps of the great mathematicians, they then compare the (surprisingly...

Direct your class' attention to directed line segments. The interactive resource allows pupils to create segments with specific endpoints. Scholars plot the initial and terminal points to determine the direction and magnitude of the...

A six-page test covers content from several different high school math courses. It incorporates a few short answer, graphing, and word problems. It also allows room for mathematical reasoning and analysis.

Students draw and calculate altitudes. They draw the altitude of acute, right and obtuse triangles and calculate the altitude of a triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

In this absolute value learning exercise, students solve 10 different equations that include solving absolute values. First, they determine whether their equation is expressed in the a+bi form. Then, students select the coefficients for...

Triangles and prisms don't stand a chance when your learners use this handout full of the formulas they need to know about the different shapes. Area, volume, and surface formulas are all covered along with the standard measurement and...

Scholars apply knowledge learned over their high school math courses in order to determine their college readiness. The 20-page resource emphasizes applied problem solving.

Math was easier before it got mixed up with the alphabet. A 10-page test covers material from multiple years of high school math. Scholars demonstrate knowledge across domains with a mixture of short answer and applied problems.

Your class may believe that geometry is a trial, but they don't know how right they are. A thorough math lesson combines the laws of logic with the laws of geometry. As high schoolers review the work of historical mathematicians and...
