Connection 1 and 2:
Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
8.G.7 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.
This relates to the video because in the lesson you found right triangles through day to day scenarios and used SOH CAH TOA to explain their formulas.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.7
Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions that allow for multiple avenues of exploration.
-Observation and Writing Activity:
- Students will be required to go into a public place, the library or cafeteria, and observe the area for right triangles. Then they will write a descriptive paper on what they say and how right triangles are related to everyday life.
This relates to the curriculum because the students are going out and researching and observing their environment and further writing about their experience.
