Topic 7 - Final Lesson Plan

The document outlines a lesson plan focused on the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the legs. Students will learn to identify the sides of right triangles, explain the theorem, and apply it to solve problems. The lesson is designed to take approximately 60 minutes and includes activities such as recalling angle types and completing worksheets with examples.

Overview

Today we will learn the Pythagorean Theorem: the theorem that states that in a right

triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of lengths of

the legs. We will recall what angles are acute, obtuse, and right angles? What triangles are right

triangles (what is leg and hypotenuse of the right triangle)? What is the Pythagorean Theorem

and how we can use it. During the lesson, students will try to solve different examples with right

tringles (by finding leg length or hypotenuse).

Objectives

The objectives of this lesson are to teach each student of the following:

- Identify each side of the right triangle as hypotenuse or legs;

- Explain the Pythagorean theorem;

- How to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the sides (legs and

hypotenuse) of right triangle.

Time: The approximate time needed for this activity to be implemented in the classroom

is 60 minutes.

Materials: calculators, piece of paper, worksheets with examples and tasks.

Activities

1) Introduction: the students will recall what acute (less than 90 degrees), obtuse

(more than 90 degrees), and right (exactly 90 degrees) angles are.

2) Definitions:

- Right triangle is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle.

- Hypotenuse is the side of the right triangle which is opposite the right angle.

- Legs are the sides adjusted to the right angle.


3) The Pythagorean Theorem: the theorem that states that in a right triangle, the

square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of lengths of the legs.

4) The student will see and learn different examples of the application of the

Pythagorean Theorem.

5) The students will receive the worksheets, where they will need:

- Identify right triangles;

- Identify sides of the triangles as either legs or hypotenuse;

- Complete five problems with a partner: three problems of how to find the length

of the hypotenuse and two problems of how to find the length of the unknown leg.
