Take an alternative route with trigonometry and let learners connect a tweaked version of the pythagorean theorem to the original in terms of triangle sides. The assignment leads participants towards deriving the Pythagorean identity based on the relationship of the previous question.
Young mathematicians first learn the basics of proving trigonometric identities. They then practice this skill on several examples.
Your learners will appreciate this handy resource when they are working with various trigonometry problems. The most common trigonometric identities and laws are all typed on one page.
In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.
