45-45-90 Triangles
To learn the pattern of the side lengths of a 45-45-90 triangle, students complete a gallery walk, a card sort activity starting with using the Pythagorean theorem, and activity to locate if there is an error in a presented problem and if so to identify what the error is.
Applying Geometric Probability
The student will find the area of polygons and circles. Then, the student will use probability to solve real-world problems.
Applying Pythagorean Triples
Given problem situations involving similar figures, the student will apply and justify triangle similarity relationships such as Pythagorean triples.
Applying Pythagorean Triples to Solve Problems
Given verbal and pictorial representations of problem situations, the student will apply patterns from right triangles whose sides are Pythagorean Triples to solve the problems.
Applying Right Triangle Ratios
The student will apply and prove the definition of similar triangles and identify and apply the relationships that exist when an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, including the geometric mean.
