Curated OER
Calculating Distances in Two and Three Dimensions
Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.
Curated OER
Which Triangles are Right
Students apply properties of right triangles to solve problems. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify axioms and theorems using examples.
Curated OER
Tilted Squares and Right Triangles
Learners investigate squares. They generate patterns from structured situations and find a rule for the general term and express it using words and symbols. Students generate patterns from a rule and substitute values and formulas.
Curated OER
Babylonian Mathematics 2
Students research Babylonian mathematics. They calculate simple surd numbers. Students find the fractional form of rational numbers expressed as decimals. They work with numbers in base 60.
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: A Rei Pythagorean Triples
This task has two separate goals: the first is to solve a pair of equations, one quadratic and the other linear. The second goal is to observe that a point that lies on a circle gives rise to a Pythagorean triple. Aligns with A-REI.C.7.
