The influence of Pythagoras in mathematics and philosophy remains strong today, as do the mysteries surrounding the great Greek philosopher. Like philosophy and religion, the science of mathematics can change the way we perceive the world and has a massive impact on our lives.

Pythagoras’ philosophy influenced both Plato and Aristotle, and through them his ideas were fundamental in Western philosophy. The Pythagorean school was pivotal in the evolution of human intellect and in raising the level of philosophical thought for 2,500 years.

In his life 2,500 years ago, the Greek philosopher combined philosophy, mathematics, and religion, and his work and ideas are still influential to this day. The Pythagorean theorem remains fundamental in mathematics and is taught in schools across the world.

This practical ebook features an introduction to Pythagoras and an analysis of his theorem for young students. It also includes exercises for practice, and their answers at the end.

Ever needed a review activity on transversals and triangles that was fun and engaging for your students? Team Target Review is a cooperative and competitive activity designed to get students thinking, talking, and working together.

Teams of 2-4 students work together to complete increasing levels of difficulty on transversals intersecting parallel lines and the interior and exterior angles of triangles. As students progress, you can quickly assess mastery and give intervention help on the spot.

This activity works great as an engaging review session before an assessment, a quick(ish) activity on one of those pesky minimum days where you have limited time, or as part of a block period when you want to break up the direct instruction.

This activity includes:

-Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).

-Six rounds with 4 problems each of targeted review on transversals and triangles for 8th grade.

-Complete worked out solutions for each round.

Note: This activity does not cover the Pythagorean Theorem!

Level Ups are a fun way to challenge your students to complete various levels of mastery on working with the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity provides 5 levels of challenge for your students to complete, starting with pre-requisite skills involving 7th grade basic triangle skills.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse after teaching the concepts, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).

Find The Shape Twins is a fun, engaging way to introduce congruence through rigid motion transformation (translation, rotation, reflection) to your 8th grade math students. Students work individually and in teams to solve 10 different puzzles by creating two congruent shape twins from each given figure. This activity has puzzles of different challenge level, providing all of your students with a memorable experience.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Complete lesson directions and ideas for optional extension activities.
• One large example puzzle to use during lesson delivery.
• Student work packet including 1 example puzzle, 10 puzzles to solve, and a Reflect & Analyze exit ticket.
