3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
| The goal of this lesson is for students to be able to calculate
the unknown side of a right triangle, given the lengths of the other
two sides. |
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1.The students will be able to describe and define the Pythagorean
Theorem when asked from memory.
2.The students will be able to identify a right triangle and the corresponding
sides that fit the Pythagorean Theorem.
3.Given two variables the students will know how to solve for the
missing variable. |

|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
PowerPoint
Camera
Homework Handout
calculators
paper
|
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1.Start PowerPoint that explains the Pythagorean Theorem in more
depth.
2.Go through each slide and ask lots of questions to makes sure you
get good feedback.
|
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1.Hand out the Homework/practice Handout.
2.Explain to the students that as a class we are going to do problems
one thru three together and then they will complete 4-8 at home. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1.Read the first problem outloud and guide students through the
problem.
2.Ask if there are any questions.
|
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1.The students will then try to complete problem 2 on their own
2.Walk around the classroom and monitor what is going on
3.ask if any questions after several minutes and then have a student
work out problem 2 on the board.
4. Repeat for problem 3 |
| |
|
|
Checking for understanding-
1.Ask for a student to volunteer to tell you what the parts of the
right triangle called.
2.Ask the students again when they allowed to use the Pythagorean
Theorem? |
| |
|
|
Closure-
1.Tell the students that they did a good job today and then dismiss
them as a class.
