Pythagorean Theorem Applications - Full Lesson Plan & Performance Task

(0)
This lesson uses the Pythagorean Theorem for three different applications: finding the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, finding the length of a diagonal in a three-dimensional figure, and using the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if a triangle is a right triangle. This lesson includes a warm-up, minilesson with guided steps through the process, examples, class activities and a worksheet for homework. Answer keys included. In addition to the lesson plan, a Performance Task is included (Pythagorean Theorem Stations) and a screencast for flipped classrooms or additional student support. Both Word and pdf versions included in the zip folder.

The Number 12: A Lesson Plan

(1)
This is a lesson plan that I wrote for 12/12/12, but it can be used for any year on 12/12, or it can just be used to try some activities with the number 12. With this lesson, students will read a short article on the number 12. The article points out how we shape our lives around the number (from clocks and calendars) and includes examples of significant "12s" in history. Included are two math activities where students perform operations with the number 12 and observe patterns with their answers.
