In this Pythagorean Theorem worksheet, students solve seventeen Math Regents Exam questions using the Pythagorean Theorem.  The solutions are provided.

In this Pythagorean theorem activity, students solve one Pythagorean Theorem application problem concerned with the minimum length required for a radio antenna wire.  The solution is provided by clicking on the "show solution"...

Protect yourself from identity theft! Establishing a strong understanding of the Pythagorean identity allows learners to prove that sine^2x + cos^2x = 1. They then use the identity to find sine or cosine ratios given the other.

Communication is the key. A presentation provides 25 sample items for Claim 3, Communicating Reasoning, for the Smarter Balanced High School Math assessment. Items require pupils to answer the question and provide logical reasoning to...

Math can be a problem in eighth grade. Sample items show how problem solving exists within the eighth grade standards. Part of the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series, the presentation contains eight items to illustrate the...

Students apply properties of Pythagorean to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different parts of a right triangle using ratios. they solve problems using squares and square roots.

Students investigate the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. After conducting independent practice to find the hypotenuse of a triangle, they work with the teacher using examples in the lesson plan. The direct instruction is delivered...

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.

You've just hit the jackpot of integrating math problems and riddles with this jumbo-sized resource! Written as a newsletter, scroll through 35 pages of puzzles and quality problems to engage and encourage your learners to inquire...

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...

Circles aren't functions, so how is it possible to write the equation for a circle? Pupils first develop the equation of a circle through application of the Pythagorean Theorem. The activity then provides an exercise set for learners to...

Using their knowledge of right triangles, pupils find out how far a ship is from a light house. Class members determine how far around the world a ship would be sailing at a constant speed.

Buying a new sofa? Learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as algebra and graphing techniques, to determine whether the sofa will fit around a corner (which I'm sure you'll agree is a very important consideration!).

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to develop a formula to find that distance. They then find the midpoint using an average formula. 

Starting with similar triangles and dilation factors, this unit quickly and thoroughly progresses into the world of right triangle features and trigonometric relationships. Presented in easy-to-attack modules with copious application...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Young scholars do Web research in the field of mathematics. They explore mathematical proofs and apply them to the Pythagorean theorem. They also explore the general ideas of Fermat's Last Theorem

In this calculating arc lengths instructional activity, students are given 4 simple functions and they use the Pythagorean Theorem and the basic techniques of calculus to find the arc-length formula in order to find the arc-length.

Students find patterns relating the lengths of the sides of squares to their areas. In this squares and square roots lesson, students draw squares and find their areas. They estimate the sides of square when given the area. Students use...

Teach how to solve problems with right triangles. Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to identify missing sides and angles. Then, they will define and use the Pythagorean Triples to solve problems.

Why was Pythagoras so obsessed with squares? The assessment task posits the question of whether the geometric interpretation of the Pythagorean Theorem holds for figures other than squares. Scholars first consider the case of semicircles...

Time doesn't fly when you're watching a snail cross a sidewalk. Combining the concepts of the Pythagorean Theorem and the distance, rate, and time formula, learners determine how long it takes a snail to go from one corner of a sidewalk...
