Pythagorean Theorem Unit (Lessons, Performance Tasks, Assessments)
Pythagorean Theorem Unit contains four lessons with a quiz and exam. Lessons are for double-period classes or can be split into multiple days.
All lessons include an opening activity, 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 for each lesson as well as screencasts for flipped classrooms or additional student support.
This file contains a quiz for the following lessons:
**1) The Pythagorean Theorem Introduction Lesson Plan**
This is an introduction to the Pythagorean Theorem and using the theorem to find the measures of the sides of right triangles.
**2) The Pythagorean Theorem, Pt. II Lesson Plan**
This lesson uses the Pythagorean Theorem for three different applications: a) finding the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, b) finding the length of a diagonal in a three-dimensional figure, and c) using the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if a triangle is a right triangle.
**3) Using Pythagorean Theorem to Solve Real-World Problems Lesson**
Students will use the information in the word problem to draw a diagram and label the given lengths. Students will then substitute the measurements into the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing lengths.
**4) Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its Converse**
This full lesson plan presents students with several opportunities to explore different proofs for the Pythagorean Theorem.
**5) Pythagorean Theorem Quiz and Unit Exam**
There are two versions of the quiz and exam. One version can be used as a unit review or study guide instead.
