Math Games for Teachers

Grade 8 - Shape and Space

Standard 8.SS.1 - Practice using Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle in a real world problem.

Included Skills:

Demonstrate understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem concretely or pictorially and symbolically and by solving problems.
Generalize the results of an investigation of the expression a² + b²= c² (where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of a right triangle, c being the longest):
- concretely (by cutting up areas represented by a² and b² and fitting the two areas onto c²)
- pictorially (by using technology)
- symbolically (by confirming that a² + b² = c² for a right triangle).
Explore right and non-right triangles, using technology, and generalize the relationship between the type of triangle and the Pythagorean Theorem (i.e., if the sides of a triangle satisfy the Pythagorean equation, then the triangle is a right triangle which is known as the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem).
Explore right triangles, using technology, using the Pythagorean Theorem to identify Pythagorean triples (e.g., 3, 4, 5 or 5, 12, 13), hypothesize about the nature of triangles with side lengths that are multiples of the Pythagorean triples, and verify the hypothesis.
Create and solve problems involving the Pythagorean Theorem, Pythagorean triples, or the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.
Give a presentation that explains a historical or personal use or story of the Pythagorean Theorem (e.g., Pythagoras and his denial of irrational numbers, the use of the 3:4:5 right triangle ratio in the Pyramids, squaring off the corner of a sandbox being built for a sibling, or determining the straight line distance between two towns to be travelled on a snowmobile).
