Learning goals: Learning Goals • Describe patterns in the relationship between the squares of side lengths of a right triangle, and learn that this relationship is called the Pythagorean theorem. (Lesson 6) • Calculate unknown side lengths of a right triangle by using the Pythagorean theorem. (Lesson 7 and 8) • Determine whether a triangle with given side lengths is a right triangle using the converse of the Pythagorean theorem. (Lesson 9) • Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve problems within a context. (Lesson 10) • Calculate the distance between two points in the coordinate plane by using the Pythagorean theorem. (Lesson 11) • Develop a strategy for calculating the length of a diagonal line segment in the coordinate plane using the Pythagorean theorem. (Lesson 11) Materials • Whiteboards
