Lesson 67 Pythagorean Theorem

This math lesson plan document outlines a 7th grade lesson on using the Pythagorean theorem to introduce irrational numbers. The learning objective is stated. Sample problems are provided to activate prior knowledge of the Pythagorean theorem and its converse. The concept development section defines the Pythagorean theorem and its converse. Sample problems are given along with steps for determining the length of missing sides of right triangles using the theorem. More sample problems are provided in the guided practice section. Independent practice problems from a separate lesson will be assigned. A closing problem is listed to conclude the lesson.
